LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The National Weather Service is predicting chances of showers midweek in Lake County thanks to a low pressure system headed toward the region.

This week’s forecast predicts a 20-percent chance of rain on Wednesday night across the county.

That chance of rain is due to a strong low pressure system approaching the West Coast mid-week, the National Weather Service said.

The forecast also says high pressure is expected to build over Northern California early next week, allowing temperatures to increase to near or slightly above normal.

Daytime temperatures this week are expected to be in the low 70s, dropping into the 60s for several days and rising into the low 70s again early next week.

Nighttime temperatures will be in the low to mid 40s through the week, rising into the low 50s next week, based on the forecast.
