LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Markedly cooler weather is on tap for Lake County today and tomorrow, with rain showers likely throughout the day today and into Friday and higher elevations receiving a dusting of snow.
A much colder but relatively small storm front began moving into Lake County and Northern California last night, with the National Weather Service in Sacramento giving local areas a 60 to 80 percent chance of rain showers throughout the day today. Higher elevations are forecast to receive small amounts of snowfall.
The forecasters at Western Weather Group predict about one-third of an inch of rain will fall today as a small weather front moves through, followed by a much colder and drier system that could spark isolated thunderstorms throughout the day and into the evening.
Rain is expected to continue into the morning hours on Friday, but taper off as the weather system moves out of the area.
Daytime highs today and Friday will top out near 50 degrees, with sunny skies throughout the weekend.
As the cold air mass continues to move out of the area, overnight temperatures Friday and throughout the weekend are predicted to dip into the low to mid-20s, with some valley areas seeing overnight low temperatures in the upper teens, according to the forecast.
