Storm Shifts North; 6-12 Inches by Sunday Afternoon for Carson Range; More West of Lake

 This storm which has stubbornly stayed off the coast while sending precip to Southern California, has shifted north, grabbed a little cold air and will form right over Lake Tahoe. This is not the event we were hoping for 10 days ago, but Mt. Rose could see a foot of snow which will greatly help them to open additional terrain.

After this storm, however, it looks like an extended dry period.

Here is the forecast for 6:00 this afternoon (Saturday 11/18):

There will be a shadowing effect, so the crest above 7,500 feet on the west side of Lake Tahoe will pick up 1-2 feet.

Here is the precip forecast, again, about 6-12 inches for Mt. Rose. This being a very warm storm will produce quite a bit of rain below 7,000 feet.

The precip forecast for the 2 weeks following this event is nada, let's hope that changes.
