Pacific weather systems to bring more rain, cooler temperatures
The National Weather Service issued a special weather statement for Lake County and other parts of interior Northern California because of the cooler, wetter weather on the way.
The agency said a couple of Pacific weather systems will bring rain, mountain snow, breezy winds and colder temperatures to interior Northern California this week.
The special weather statement said the first Pacific weather system will weaken as it moves inland on Tuesday, bringing light rain mainly to the mountains and locally breezy winds and cooler
temperatures. It said snow levels will generally remain above the Sierra Nevada passes.
Forecasters said a second, colder and wetter system will follow from Wednesday through Thursday. Snow levels are forecast to rapidly lower below the passes Wednesday night, and dropping to around 3,000 feet by Thursday, with several inches over the Coastal Range.
Lake County’s forecast says less than a tenth of an inch of rain is expected to fall in Lake County on Tuesday, with up to a quarter of an inch anticipated on Wednesday. Lesser chances of showers are forecast on Thursday.
The forecast also notes that Thursday’s high temperatures will be much colder than normal.
The specific Lake County forecast calls for daytime highs in the high 50s and nighttime lows in the high 30s.
Winds also are in the forecast from Tuesday through Thursday, with gusts into the 20s on Wednesday night.
