LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The weak weather system that moved over Lake County Sunday brought light showers in the afternoon over localized areas, but sunny skies should return today before more rain is on tap beginning on Tuesday.
The weather is predicted to be sunny and warm Monday according to forecasters with the National Weather Service in Sacramento.
However, forecasters said a weather system from the Gulf of Alaska will drop into Lake County and Northern California on Tuesday, bringing much cooler weather and rains with the potential for small hail, gusty winds and possible thunderstorms into Wednesday.
Western Weather Group Lake County predicted up to a half-inch of much-needed rain overnight Tuesday into Wednesday with isolated thunderstorms, as unsettled weather continues over Lake County.
Daytime highs Monday should reach into the low- to mid- 60s, with chances for rain and clouds returning overnight and temperatures dipping once again into the mid-30s.
With an 80 percent chance of rain on Tuesday according to forecasters, high temperatures early this week will only reach into the 50s as rains are expected to continue through Wednesday.
Skies are forecast to clear by Thursday, although temperatures will remain cool with the possibility for overnight frost on both Thursday and Friday nights in some areas, according to the forecast.
Warm and sunny weather is expected to return by the weekend, according to forecasters, with possible rains returning early next week.
