LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – After several dry days, Lake County can expect rain to return the middle of this week.
The National Weather Service said another wave of rain is due to move over Northern California beginning on Wednesday.
From Wednesday to Thursday, Lake County is expected to get between 1 and 2 inches, a far more modest level than it received during the last round of storms.
The specific Lake County forecast also calls for chances of rain through Sunday.
The drier weather that arrived late last week has allowed Clear Lake’s waters to begin to slightly recede.
Early Monday, the lake’s depth was 9.79 feet Rumsey, according to the United States Geological Survey gauge on the lake. Flood stage on Clear Lake is 9 feet Rumsey.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts that Clear Lake will continue to recede until the rain returns Wednesday, at which point the lake is expected to rise once more.
Due to the lake’s conditions, the National Weather Service has a flood warning in effect through 9:15 p.m. Monday for Lake County.
The National Weather Service said it expects the lake level to remain high and to fluctuate near the 10-foot Rumsey throughout the day on Tuesday.
