The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for the greater Lake Tahoe region ahead of heavy snowfall expected in the Sierra Nevada this weekend. This advisory, effective from 10 a.m. Saturday to 4 a.m. Sunday, warns of hazardous travel conditions due to snow accumulations of up to 6 inches and strong wind gusts reaching up to 65 mph at higher elevations.

Travelers planning to head to the Sierra for the long weekend, particularly for skiing and snowboarding during "Ski Week," should exercise caution and be prepared for potentially dangerous conditions.
