LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A weak weather system moving northward from Baja California may bring some small rain amounts to Northern California on Tuesday.
The National Weather Service's forecast for Lake County predicts a 20-percent chance of rain during the day and the night on Tuesday, with less than a tenth of an inch of rain possible.
Altogether, forecasters are predicting a minute 0.03 of an inch for Lake County as a result of the system.
Tuesday is forecast to be mostly cloudy, with light winds, according to the National Weather Service.
The remainder of the week is expected to have mostly sunny and clear weather, with daytime temperatures ranging up in the high 60s and nighttime temperatures in the high 40s, the forecast said.

The US Drought Monitor's latest report, released on Jan. 22, puts Lake County in the “extreme drought” category, along with about half of the rest of the state, while another large swath of California remains in the “exceptional drought” range.
