Low temperatures Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings could easily dip below freezing around the Lake Tahoe basin and in the Sierra Nevada. Bundle up for Sunday night's fireworks show on the South Shore as temps are forecast to be 48-52 degrees when the show starts at 8:30 p.m.
Keep in mind that temperatures at ground level where plants are located tend to be a few degrees colder than the forecast low air temperature – you may want to cover sensitive garden vegetation.
