LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — February so far has been unseasonably dry, but the National Weather Service said that could change this week.
Forecasters said clouds are expected to begin gathering during the day on Monday, Presidents Day, leading to slight chances of rain in the evening. Winds of nearly 25 miles per hour in parts of Lake County also are forecast.
Beginning at 10 p.m. Monday, the forecast calls for a six-hour period during which there are chances of rain and snow showers, then a chance of snow showers after 4 a.m. Tuesday.
Chances of rain and snow showers also are in the Tuesday forecast, with conditions expected to clear later in the day and the evening.
The National Weather Service reported that, based on its latest weather models, an inch or so of snow “now seems possible” above the 2,000 foot elevation mark in Mendocino and Lake counties, “though impacts to populated areas will be minimal.”
The weather is supposed to be mostly clear and sunny for the rest of the week, with chances of showers against forecast for Saturday and Sunday.
Daytime temperatures this week will range from the high 40s on Monday to the low 60s on Saturday. Nighttime temperatures will be in the 30s for much of the week, dropping into the high 20s on Tuesday, reaching the low 40s by Saturday.
