LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The National Weather Service said two strong winter storms are headed to the region over the coming week, bringing rain and mountain snow.
The agency’s long-range forecast said that the first of the storms will push into interior Northern California Monday night.
That first storm will bring chances for snow in elevations above 3,000 feet. There are expected to be accumulations around 12 to 18 inches at Sierra pass levels and a few inches of snow possible for the I-5 mountain pass as well.
Midweek another wet weather system is expected to bring rain and lower snow levels to elevations between 2,000 and 3,000 feet – and potentially heavy mountain snow – across the North State.
The system also has the potential for gusty winds, the National Weather Service said.
The local forecast calls for a mostly sunny Saturday, with winds into the mid-teens and gusts of around 20 miles per hour.
There are chances of showers from Sunday through Friday, with winds in the mid-teens forecast through Sunday night. The possibility of snow also exists in Lake County’s higher elevations.
Temperatures overall are expected to be colder in the coming week. Nighttime temperatures will range from the low to high 30s and daytime temperatures from the lost to high 40s.
