Forecasters predict rainy week for Northern California
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Forecasters are predicting a rainy week ahead for Lake County and much of the rest of Northern California.
The National Weather Service issued a special weather statement that predicted breezy and wet weather through this week and into the weekend due to an approaching storm system.
The specific Lake County forecast calls for rain to begin on Monday, with as much as three-quarters of an inch predicted during the day and another half an inch on Monday night.
Rain is forecast to continue through Tuesday night, with a break expected during the day on Wednesday.
The forecast predicts chances of precipitation from Wednesday night into Sunday morning.
Total rain in Lake County from Monday through Wednesday is expected to range between 1 inch in the center and southern portions of Lake County and as much as 2 inches in the northern third of the county and in the county's southwest area.
Snow is expected in higher elevations across Northern California this week, forecasters said.
Another weather concern this week is gusty winds. Wind gusts into the low 20s are forecast on Monday, with gusts of up to 9 miles per hour expected on Tuesday night, the forecast said.
Daytime temperatures this week are forecast to be in the high 50s most days, peaking in the low 60s on Wednesday during the expected rain break, and ranging down into the high 40s at night.
