Lake Tahoe just got a storm that dropped around 10″ of new snow.  Another 6 inches is forecasted this morning before another storm slams into Tahoe on Friday.  16″ of new snow is forecast this weekend.

The wet weather pattern that began yesterday will continue into the weekend as two storm waves impact NorCal. The first wave arrived yesterday and will linger into this afternoon. Thunderstorms still possible this morning which could produce locally heavy rainfall and lightning. Motorists should take caution as hazardous driving conditions are expected due to rain and snow. Check road conditions! The next storm arrives by Friday morning and will linger into Saturday, but the brunt of the storm is expected Friday as thunderstorms are possible again along with moderate to heavy rain/snow. – NOAA Sacramento, CA
