Slow-moving thunderstorms are expected in the Sierra Nevada on Tuesday, with the potential for flash flooding eastward from the Sierra.

Impact & Risks

Residents and visitors in the Lake Tahoe area and surrounding regions east of the Sierra Nevada should prepare for potential flash flooding. The elevated moisture levels and slow-moving thunderstorms could lead to localized flooding, particularly in areas with poor drainage or near streams and rivers. Travelers and outdoor enthusiasts should exercise caution, as sudden heavy rainfall could disrupt activities and create hazardous conditions.
