LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Although cloudy skies and very brief intermittent rain showers were the weather pattern over Lake County for the last few days, a change is in store for the weekend.
Friday is forecast to be partly sunny and balmy, with higher-than-normal temperatures coupled with high humidity, and increasing chances for rain over the weekend, according to the National Weather Service in Sacramento.
Daytime highs are expected to reach well into the 70s on Friday, forecasters said.
A low pressure system is expected to approach for the weekend, bringing with it increasing chances for much-needed rain, according to forecasters.
Temperatures are forecast to cool back into the mid-60s during the day on Saturday as the chances for rain increase throughout the afternoon into the evening.
More showers will be possible on Sunday, according to Western Weather Group Lake County, as forecast models have the center of the system over the Bay Area – including Lake County – by late Sunday, which may dampen Easter egg hunting.
Isolated showers will taper off by Monday afternoon, according to forecasters, as the system dissipates, but temperatures are predicted to remain mild throughout the weekend and into early next week.
Daytime highs throughout the weekend should reach the low- to mid-60s, with overnight lows well above freezing and only dipping into the 40s.
As the new week approaches, skies will clear and daytime warming will bring temperatures back up into the 70s by Tuesday.
Forecast models currently predict a slight chance of rain to return by Wednesday.
