LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Pacific storm system that was headed toward Northern and Central California Friday night is expected to bring rain to the region Saturday and Sunday.

The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for Lake and other portions of Northern California in anticipation of the storm.

Forecasters predicted that rainfall would be mostly light to moderate, and would occur primarily on Saturday and Saturday night, with reduced chances of rainfall on Sunday morning.

Lake County's rain amount over the weekend is anticipated to be up to just over an inch and a half at the most.

Snow is expected in higher elevations in the Coastal Range as well as the Sierras, the National Weather Service said.

While rain is forecast to taper off later on Sunday and early on Monday, another storm system is expected to bring rain to Lake County through much of next week, the agency reported.
