LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Following a foggy Monday, forecasters are calling for the potential for rain this week thanks to a series of incoming weather systems.
The National Weather Service’s Sacramento office said the week is starting off with quieter weather, but later in the week more rain is in the forecast.
Forecasters said an approaching short wave trough – the agency defined a trough as an “elongated area of relatively low atmospheric pressure” – will push into the Pacific Northwest later on Tuesday and Wednesday, bringing chances of light showers.
That will be followed by another trough that the National Weather Service said will crash into the Pacific Northwest on Thursday, bringing more chances for precipitation, especially in the higher elevations on Thursday afternoon and evening.
The National Weather Service said still another system is set to arrive in the region on Friday and continuing through the weekend, bringing periods of rain and mountain snow to Northern California.
The forecast calls for precipitation on Friday mainly in the higher elevations, but an incoming cold front expected to arrive on Friday night and into Saturday, there could be light rain in the lower areas, the National Weather Service said.
The National Weather Service said mountain snow is anticipated to continue from Friday into Saturday, before dry weather returns on Sunday.
The specific forecast for Lake County shows chances of rain from Wednesday night through Saturday night, before conditions clear up into early next week.
Daytime temperatures are forecast to be in the low to mid 50s throughout the week, with nighttime temperatures in the low 40s, dropping into the 30s over the weekend.
