LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The impacts of an atmospheric river are expected to continue as more rain – and snow in higher elevations – is anticipated until the middle of next week.
The main impacts of the storm were felt across Lake County and much of the rest of the state on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Locally, high winds, rain and snow led to road closures and power outages that were still being resolved on Wednesday night and into Thursday.
The National Weather Service’s Eureka office told Lake County News that it had received reports of 8 inches of snow in Kelseyville; 6 inches in Cobb; 4.5 inches in Hidden Valley Lake; 2 inches in Clearlake, the Clearlake Riviera and Spring Valley; and 1 inch in Lower Lake.
Lake County Public Works crews on Wednesday were plowing snow and clearing roads, from Lower Lake to Kelseyville to Upper Lake.
Stormy conditions are far from over.
The forecast calls for up to half an inch of rain on Thursday, along with light winds.
Rain also is expected on Friday and Saturday, and from Sunday through Tuesday. In the higher elevations, especially in the northern part of the county, snow also is in the forecast on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, conditions are forecast to be clear and sunny.
Temperatures over the next several days are anticipated to range from the high 30s to low 40s at night, and from the high 40s and low 50s during the daytime.
