In fact, the National Weather Service's winter outlook also favors above-normal temperatures around Tahoe this winter. Past El Niño winters in the Sierra have produced a wide range of outcomes, from exceptionally snowy seasons to winters with near-normal or even below-normal precipitation. Here's what to know about the Tahoe snow forecast for the season. What is the winter forecast for Lake Tahoe?
