SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) Fresh powder is expected to blanket Lake Tahoe on Friday, setting the stage for a white Christmas in the Sierra Nevada.
ABC7 News Meteorologist Lisa Argen says Santa Claus may be navigating his sleigh through a snowstorm on December 25.
The same pair of Pacific storms that are expected to drench the Bay Area will also bring snow to the Sierra and western Nevada over the upcoming holiday weekend, explained Argen.
A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for the Lake Tahoe area starting Friday 10 a.m. until Saturday 10 a.m.
The bulk of the snow will be arriving late Friday night into Saturday with 8-12 inches of snow anticipated, says Argen.
