Forecasters: New storms heading toward Northern California
The National Weather Service’s Sacramento office said it is tracking two winter storms expected to impact Northern California in the coming days.
The agency said the first will bring low-elevation snow on Monday, similar to the storm system that brought snow to lower elevations last week.
A second storm system could bring multiple feet of snow to higher elevations including the Sierra Nevada – where most of the state’s snowpack is located – later in the week, based on the forecast.
While parts of Lake County saw some snow this past week, snow is only in the forecast for the higher elevations north of Upper Lake on Sunday night and Monday, and from Thursday night through Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
In Lake County’s lower elevations, rain is predicted on Sunday night, with slight chances of showers on Monday and again from mid-week into the weekend, the forecast said.
Over the coming week, daytime highs are expected to top out in the low 50s, while nighttime temperatures are forecast to drop into the low 30s.
Winds with gusts into the 20s also are forecast for Sunday night, with more winds in the mid-teens are expected on Monday night, the agency reported.
