LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The first days of November are forecast to bring with them a solid fall rainstorm.
The National Weather Service’s Sacramento office reported that rain – and snow in higher elevations – is in the forecast for Northern California for late in the coming week.
The agency said the forecast confidence is improving for a very solid – but not torrential – rainstorm.
The rain could arrive as early as Thursday or as late as Saturday, the National Weather Service said.
The specific Lake County forecast calls for slight chances of rain all day Thursday and Friday morning, with rain likely on Friday night and Saturday.
Lake County and the rest of Northern California so far have had little rain this fall, and according to a winter forecast issued by Accuweather, California is set to have a milder and drier winter than last season.
“After a big season for snowfall in central and Northern California last year, both regions are predicted to be less wet and snowy in the upcoming months,” the forecast said.
However, milder conditions are likely to be more beneficial, considering that many areas of Lake County saw damage and flooding during last winter’s heavy rain.
Updates will be posted as the forecast develops.
