LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – After a heavy day of rain on Monday, forecasters are predicting Lake County has still more precipitation to look forward to this week thanks to more incoming storm systems.
Steady rain fell over the county on Monday and into Monday night, with light rain continuing into early Tuesday morning.
The National Weather Service's 24-hour rainfall totals ending at 3 a.m. Tuesday were as follows, in inches:
– Bartlett Springs: 1.69.
– Bear Creek (Lake/Colusa County line): 0.99.
– Cobb: 3.83.
– High Glade Lookout (above Upper Lake): 1.82.

– Lower Lake: 2.09.
– Lyons Valley: 0.86.
– Middletown: 2.27.
– Upper Lake: 1.40.
– Whispering Pines: 2.88.
The US Geological Survey gauge on Clear Lake showed that the lake rose from just under 1.35 feet Rumsey on Sunday to a peak of about 1.5 feet Rumsey on Monday due to the rain. By early Tuesday the lake level had dropped back to just under 1.40 feet Rumsey.
The National Weather Service's updated forecast for Lake County calls for two more storm systems to impact the county and much of Northern California through the remainder of the week.
The forecast calls for a 50-percent chance of showers during the day and night on Tuesday, with rainfall totals of less than four-tenths of an inch predicted.
Forecasters said rain is expected to continue through Sunday.
Temperatures will remain cool, with daytime highs in the high 50s and nighttime lows in the high 40s, forecasters said.
