The National Weather Service in Sacramento issued a hazardous weather outlook for Lake County and all of interior Northern California on Sunday.
The alert called for gusty winds with periods of heavy rains, hail, thunderstorms and the possibility of snow down to 2,500 foot elevation – all of which occurred on Sunday throughout Lake County.
There is more rain in the forecast early this week, according to the National Weather Service.
Rain is expected to increase again during the day on Monday, with temperatures well below average as another storm system takes aim at Lake County, forecasters said.
Widespread rain is expected to fall throughout the morning on Tuesday then becoming drier, but according to the Western Weather Group, frost and near-freezing temperatures will remain possible for low-lying areas for the remainder of the week in the mornings.
Daytime highs today and Tuesday are predicted to only reach the low 50s, warming more on Wednesday and barely reaching into the 70s by Thursday.
Because of the unsettled weather and possible near-freezing overnight temperatures, cold weather protection for people, livestock and pets, as well as frost and freeze protection for newly-planted gardens are recommended until late this week.
