Hot, dry weather forecast for Independence Day weekend
The National Weather Service said hot and dry weather will persist across interior California through this weekend and into early next week.
The forecast expects Saturday to have temperatures in the low 90s.
In Clearlake, where the city’s Independence Day celebration will take place on Saturday, the forecast calls for a high of 94 degrees, with light winds of up to 8 miles per hour during daytime and nighttime hours.
At night, temperatures will drop into the low 60s, offering more comfortable conditions in Clearlake for watching the fireworks display over Clear Lake.
On Sunday, Lakeport’s daylong July 4 celebration will take place.
Independence Day’s weather forecast in Lakeport calls for a daytime high of 92 degrees, with a south southwest wind of up to 9 miles per hour in the afternoon.
By the time the nighttime fireworks begin, conditions will cool down, with lows in the high 50s and the wind becoming calm.
Temperatures into the middle of the week will hover in the mid 90s in the daytime and drop into the high 50s at night across Lake County, the National Weather Service said.
