Snow in June? Winter Weather Conditions Return to Sierra Nevada

Hail, lightning, thunder and rain seen nearer to the Bay Area

Not so fast. Mother Nature isn't done with winter just yet.

A winter-like storm making a beeline for Lake Tahoe is expected to drop a few inches of snow in some higher elevation locations beginning Sunday and continuing into Monday, according to the National Weather Service.

Beginning later Sunday, snow accumulation is possible above 6,000 feet, according to the NWS. Locations above 7,000 feet could see two to five inches of fresh snowfall.

By the time the midnight hour arrives, the snow level could drop to lake level with low temperatures dipping to around 27 degrees, according to the NWS.

The snowy weather is expected to stick around the area through Monday, but the bone-chilling overnight temperatures will remain around freezing until the end of the week, according to the NWS.

Closer to the Bay Area, thunder, lightning, hail and rain were seen in areas of the North Bay on Sunday. Showers were expected to taper off Sunday night, with a few lingering Monday morning before skies clear, forecasters said.
