LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The National Weather Service is predicting more rain this week thanks to a very wet series of storms set to arrive on Wednesday.

Forecasters issued a special weather statement for Lake County and other parts of Northern California that are expected to be impacted by the storms.

Moist Pacific air is forecast to bring a wet pattern to Northern California from Wednesday through Friday, with periods of moderate to heavy rain and heavy mountain snow, the National Weather Service reported.

Forecasters are predicting from 1 to 2 inches of rain in low-lying areas and 3 to 6 inches in the mountains.

The amount of rain expected has caused forecasters to once again urge caution in areas with burn scars from recent wildland fires, where there is the potential for debris flows.

As for snow, the National Weather Service said more than a foot of new snow is possible over the 6,000 foot level across the region, with the potential for 2 to 3 feet of snow on Northern California's high peaks.

The region could see more rain from an additional system expected to arrive on Sunday, although forecasters said the certainty regarding that storm is not high at this time.

Ahead of the bigger late-week storms, Lake County has a chance of showers on Tuesday night, forecasters said.

Lake County is coming off a damp weekend, with the National Weather Service reporting that, as of 11:30 p.m. Sunday, 24-hour rainfall totals in inches included 0.80 near Upper Lake, 0.52 near Lakeport, 1.20 in Cobb and 0.39 near Middletown.
