While no records are expected to be broken in the next week, it’s going to get even colder in the Tahoe-Truckee area in the coming days.

Wednesday morning is expected to be the coldest, according to the National Weather Service in Reno. Most lows will be in the teens, though Truckee may hit 5 degrees.

Record lows for this area are below zero, which isn’t expected to occur with the series of storms that are lined up to the west.

The initial system will bring more cold than moisture.

“The snow level is going to be tough to predict with this one. We are still working out numbers on that,” Zach Tolby, meteorologist with the Weather Service, told Lake Tahoe News. “It’s going to start cold, warm up and then cool down so the snow level will fluctuate a lot as the storm comes in this weekend.”

Not only are the snow levels unknown right now, but the amount of white stuff also isn’t being predicted.

The bulk of rain and snow is expected to reach Tahoe on Thursday and Friday. The weekend system is not expected to be as strong.

With the cold temps it means area ski resorts have been able to make snow. Add that to what Mother Nature will be dropping, and it means more terrain will be opening.
