Warm...then possible thunderstorms this weekend.

A ridge of high pressure that's driven temperatures into the triple digits in California and Nevada and brought warm days to the Sierra and the Tahoe Basin will persist for another day or two before breaking down and moving east this weekend.

The shift will open the door to monsoonal moisture from the south and additional moisture from a Northern Pacific trough, which will mean a threat of thunderstorms for Tahoe.

Today should be another warm day ahead of the change, and Friday should be the warmest day in the Basin for a while.

But as the ridge shifts east the moisture will move in. By Saturday the Tahoe Basin should see an increase in afternoon cloud formation with a serious threat of thunderstorms. Precipitable waters showing in the forecast models are in the neighborhood of one inch, with the highest chances for downpours in the southern part of the basin and south of Tahoe.

A trough of low pressure off the coast of California could add to the instability in the atmosphere by late Saturday and into Sunday, increasing the chance of thunderstorms in the foothills and areas north of Tahoe.

Sunday should be a little calmer than Saturday, and drier days are in the forecast for early next week.

looks like nice weather this weekend.

A trough of low pressure off the Northern California coast might be more productive, producing some cumulus clouds on Friday with a slight chance of thunderstorms.

But for the most part the next three to five days should be more of the same: temperatures in the 70s and 80s and mostly clear skies.
