LAKE COUNTY – After weeks of below-normal temperatures, Lake County recorded highs in the mid-90s Thursday, with expected daytime temps to begin a gradual descent again through the weekend.

On Friday, high temperatures should top off in the mid- to upper-80s, with the weekend forecast to again reach only into the upper 70s and low 80s, according to both the National Weather Service in Sacramento (NWS) and The Weather Channel (TWC).

Both agree that skies will be sunny with no chance of afternoon clouds or thunderstorms through next week as temperatures return closer to normal, reaching back into the 90s.

The high pressure system that has been over Lake County the last few days will move on, as a weak low pressure pushes in from the north, bringing cooler temperatures and gusty winds.

Area meteorologists have reported June's daytime temperatures have averaged a 25-year low in Northern California, and the return to cooler temperatures is expected throughout the weekend and into next week.

Low temperatures will remain in the low- to mid-50s through next week.
