Storm systems to bring more rain over several days
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Spring showers are expected to move over Lake County for much of this week, based on the latest projections from forecasters.
The National Weather Service issued a special weather statement in response to a series of storms that is forecast to bring a wet pattern to Northern California continuing through Thursday.
The storm systems are expected to bring rain to much of the North State as well as light snow accumulations to the higher elevations, with possible delays and chain requirements for mountain areas.
The special weather statement said the weak systems will continue the potential for rain and light higher elevation mountain snow accumulations Monday night into Tuesday, and again Wednesday night into Thursday.
The forecast message also notes that each successive system will have less precipitation associated with it.
Lake County’s specific forecast calls for showers during the day on Monday and on Monday night, with a total of about one-third of an inch of rain anticipated. Light winds also are forecast through Tuesday.
Temperatures on Monday are expected to be into the high 50s during the day and the mid 40s at night.
The rain is expected to continue through the day on Tuesday. A break in the rain is expected on Tuesday night, before chances of rain continue on Wednesday during daytime and nighttime hours, based on the forecast.
Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s daytime temperatures are forecast to be in the low 60s, while the nighttime Tuesday temperatures will be in the high 30s, rising to the low 40s on Wednesday.
From Thursday through Sunday, the Lake County forecast expects mostly clear and sunny conditions. Temperatures will rise from the low 60s in the day and low 40s at night on Thursday to the low 70s during the days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with nighttime temperatures into the mid 40s at that time.
April’s wet weather has kept Clear Lake’s level elevated above the “full” mark of 7.56 feet on the Rumsey gauge.
Late on Sunday, the US Geological Survey gauge on the lake at Lakeport showed the lake level to be around 7.83 feet Rumsey, up by close to a third of a foot over the past week.
