Best Answer

The mountains north and east of Lake Tahoe receive the highest average rates of total precipitation in the state of Nevada. However, other high mountain ranges such as the Ruby Mountains, Jarbidge Mountains, Santa Rosa Range, and Snake Range receive similarly high precipitation due to the orographic effects of elevation. Some higher mountain ranges receive most precipitation as snow in winter, although significant rainfalls may occur from summer thundershowers over the highest peaks, especially during the monsoon season from July through September.
