LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Following Saturday's showers, rain is expected to taper off but return later in the coming week.


The National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook for interior Northern California, explaining that a cold Pacific storm is bringing more winter weather, including snow over higher elevations in the Coastal Range and the Sierra Nevada.


Forecasters predicted a 100-percent chance of showers overnight Saturday and into Sunday morning, with showers likely to continue after 11 a.m.


Sunday is expected to be mostly cloudy with light winds and temperatures in the 50s, with a similar forecast for Monday and Monday evening, the National Weather Service predicted.


Tuesday could be partly sunny, with daytime temperatures edging into the 60s, but the National Weather Service said there will be a chance of rain throughout the rest of the week.


The rain caused some minor rock slides around Lake County on Saturday, including one on Highway 20 at Scotts Valley Road, reported shortly after 3 p.m., and another on Highway 175, where two large boulders had rolled into the roadway, according to the California Highway Patrol.
