LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The spring-like weather that Lake County residents have enjoyed the past few days will continue through the weekend, but winter weather will return again early next week – so get outdoor fun and chores done this weekend.
According to forecasters, the high-pressure system that helped to warm temperatures around the county yesterday will continue again today, but will be slowly displaced by a cold weather system as we move through the weekend and into next week.
The National Weather Service in Sacramento predicts abundant sunshine today and throughout the weekend, with today's high temperatures topping out again near 70 degrees with a slight cooling trend as the weekend progresses.
Highs are forecast to stay in the upper 60s until the President's Day holiday on Monday with overnight lows near or above freezing.
As the new week begins, Western Weather Group Lake County forecasts that high clouds will begin to move into the county on Monday and a big change of weather will be here on Tuesday, with cold and wet weather on tap.
A cold trough is forecast to move in from the Gulf of Alaska on Tuesday, bringing with it a good chance for much-needed rain, along with much cooler daytime highs, which will only reach into the low 50s, according to Western Weather Group.
The rain should only last during the day on Tuesday, and if skies clear into the evening, Western Weather Group states there's a possibility of overnight lows dropping well below freezing.
Higher elevations may see a dusting of snow on Tuesday with much-cooler daytime highs throughout the week and overnight frost and cold temperatures predicted.
