Lake Tahoe conditions
Lake Tahoe spans California and Nevada. The Tahoe City gauge is one observation point and does not represent temperature, waves, or hazards across the entire lake.
Official alerts require the production source connection

Water observations
Every value keeps its parameter, station, time, unit, source, and approval status.

Weather context
Separate from water data
Weather can help explain changing conditions, but a forecast is not a water observation. Production uses the National Weather Service feed and keeps the two clearly separated.

What this reading represents
Gage height is relative to the station datum. It is not interchangeable with a published lake-surface elevation unless the datum conversion is explicitly applied.
Recorded observations may be provisional and can be revised by the source.

Conditions are not a safety determination. A gauge reading cannot establish swimming, boating, ice, drinking-water, dam, or navigation safety. Check official alerts, local authorities, weather, and on-site conditions before acting.
