At 22:15 Friday a #weather station at 2650 m elevation west of Lake #Tahoe recorded a credible wind gust of 306 km/h.
Sustained wind was 195 km/h - equivalent to a category 3 hurricane.
The jet stream is roaring right over Tahoe tonight with the tallest mountains reaching up into it. That plus the force of air being squeezed over the mountains is producing extreme winds.
