LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev. – Lake Tahoe is in for a windy evening. The National Weather Service has issued a Lake Wind Advisory for the Greater Lake Tahoe, Truckee and surrounding areas for Thursday, from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday.
The advisory warns of winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph that could drive two- to three-foot waves on Lake Tahoe.
“Gusty winds and rough waves on area lakes will create hazardous conditions for small craft,” the service said.
It is advised to check lake conditions before heading out and to be prepared for sudden increases in winds and waves, or to postpone boating activities altogether.
