LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The National Weather Service is reporting chances of widespread rain across Northern California over the next few days, with another storm system on the horizon this weekend.
The forecast issued for Northern California calls for light to moderate rain across the region beginning on Tuesday, with rainfall estimates for Lake County ranging up to an inch.
The National Weather Service said the heaviest rainfall will be to the north, over the southern Cascade Range.
The weather system passing over the region early this week will be warmer than last week’s storm, which dropped snow around the 2,000-foot elevation mark and, in some places in Lake County, lower.
This week, the snow level will generally be above 5,000 feet. In particular, the forecast calls for 3 to 5 inches of snow above the 5,000-foot mark over Interstate 80.
The National Weather Service’s extended forecast calls for more wet weather returning late Saturday and into Sunday, with more rainfall as well as snow in higher elevations.
Lake County’s specific forecast expects rain on Tuesday, with conditions forecast to clear on Wednesday and Thursday, before chances of rain return on Thursday night and continue through Monday.
Light winds are forecast on Tuesday and Wednesday, and conditions overall are expected to be warmer, with daytime temperatures into the high 50s and nighttime temperatures into the high 40s.
