Those visiting Lake Tahoe this weekend may want to head out of town Sunday to avoid a storm rather than wait for Monday morning.
The National Weather Service in Reno on Saturday afternoon issued its third winter weather advisory in less than a week. The advisory is in effect from midnight Sunday through 4 p.m. Monday.

The service is forecasting 3-6 inches of snow above 7,000 feet with slushy accumulations at lake level.
Travelers should plan on snow-covered mountain passes during those times, including Echo summit over U.S. Highway 50, Donner Summit on Interstate 80 and Carson Pass on California State Route 88 near Kirkwood.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. Getting a sunken boat out of Lake Tahoe sometimes isn’t so easy.
On Jan. 20, the Coast Guard Lake Tahoe station responded to a report of a sunken boat off Pope Beach.
Lt. Pantelis Vasilarakis, Coast Guard Sector San Francisco’s logistics department deputy, said when a boat sinks, determining if there is pollution or not is the first and most important step.
In this case, they were able to determine there was no pollution but nearly a month after the boat was reported, it’s still there.
