LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — After several dry days, Lake County is expected to get more rain midweek, but a larger storm is expected over the weekend.
Rain is expected to return on Valentine’s Day and continue on into the weekend when a larger storm system is expected to arrive over much of the state.
The National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center said hazardous rains, winds and flooding could return to California from Saturday, Feb. 17, through Wednesday, Feb. 21.
Lake County is in the area projected to receive heavy rainfall, based on the center’s mapping.
The Climate Prediction Center said the storms will bring significant flooding risk throughout California, especially those areas — including Lake County — where soils remain saturated by the storms that took place in late January and early February.
In addition to chances of flooding, the Climate Prediction Center said there is at least a 60% chance of “hazardous, heavy precipitation” across California, with heavy snow possible in higher elevations.
High winds are also in the forecast for Lake County during that time period, the Climate Prediction Center reported.
