LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – While Lake County has so far avoided major damage – outside of some fallen trees and power lines – due to the week’s high winds, forecasters said Friday that more high winds are on the way this weekend.

The National Weather Service issued another wind advisory for Lake County that will be in effect until 6 p.m. Saturday.

Forecasters said northeast winds of 20 to 35 miles per hour with gusts of wind up to 45 miles per hour will be possible. It’s expected to be the windiest during the day on Saturday.

Lake County also is under a hazardous weather outlook for winds and lower temperatures.

The National Weather Service is predicting daytime temperatures in the high 50s and nighttime temperatures in the mid to high 30s into the first part of next week, with nighttime temperatures dipping into the low 30s in the week’s latter half.

The winds that have hit California over the past week have left hundreds of thousands of utility customers without power at various times, including a small number in Lake County, according to Pacific Gas & Electric.

By Friday afternoon PG&E said it had restored power to 90 percent of the 500,000 customers in Northern and Central California impacted by the outages.

However, the company’s last update on Friday said 51,000 of its customers still were without power, mainly in the Chico, Santa Cruz and Fresno areas.

PG&E reported late Friday that as many as 49 customers in the Nice area were impacted by an outage that had started shortly before 5 p.m.

The outage was expected to be resolved by 10 a.m. Saturday once a transformer is replaced, PG&E said.
