“It’s very unusual and it’s definitely out of the ordinary to see low temperatures like that, especially getting into April.'
Last week, record-breaking low temperatures were observed for three days in a row in South Lake Tahoe, plummeting to bone-chilling lows of nine, seven, and eight degrees on April 3, April 4, and April 5, respectively. The previous April 3 record was set in 1999 at 11 degrees, while the previous April 4 record was set that same year at 13 degrees, and the April 5 record was set in 2003 at 15 degrees, said Justin Collins, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Reno office.
“It’s very unusual and it’s definitely out of the ordinary to see low temperatures like that, especially getting into April,” Collins said., back-to-back winter storms, which have been carrying cold air in from the north while the accumulating snowpack keeps temperatures down.However, there was a sudden shift in the forecast as an area of high pressure brought warmer air into the region Sunday.
