LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — After a Tuesday that saw some rain, hail and snow falling across Lake County, the area’s updated forecast anticipates more cold weather and precipitation into next week.

The National Weather Service’s observation stations reported small amounts of rain — up to a tenth of an inch in areas like Upper Lake — but there also were small accumulations of hail and snow that occurred on Tuesday afternoon.

Based on the updated forecast, a cold and dry air mass is expected to settle over the region and persist through the week.

The National Weather Service is forecasting more rain and mountain snow through this weekend, primarily Saturday night into Sunday, with still more precipitation expected into the middle of next week.

The specific Lake County forecast calls for patchy frost early Wednesday, and on Wednesday night and into early Thursday morning, with overnight temperatures dipping into the low 30s this week.

Daytime conditions this week will be in the 50s, with some light winds predicted on Friday.

Friday and Saturday are expected to be partly sunny, before chances of rain return.

The National Weather Service’s forecast calls for the possibility of rain from Saturday night through Tuesday.
