LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Forecasters said the new week is expected to begin with fall rain.

The National Weather Service is predicting rain on Sunday and Monday, with less than a quarter of an inch expected both days. Temperatures will be in the mid-60s during the day and low 40s at night.

Those two days also are anticipated to see winds with gusts of more than 20 miles per hour.

Conditions are forecast to clear on Tuesday, with temperatures in roughly the same range as the two previous days.

From Wednesday through Saturday, the National Weather Service forecasts chances of rain, with daytime highs ranging from the high 50s to low 60s, and nighttime conditions in the 40s.

The long-term forecast says a “much colder air mass” is expected to bring freezing overnight temperatures early next week.
