LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The National Weather Service’s latest forecast is calling for a cool and cloudy weekend with the potential for rain, with a storm front set to arrive early in the new week with more rain expected before higher temperatures return.

Forecasters said mild showers were expected overnight and into Saturday morning, giving way to patchy fog in areas on the Northshore throughout the day on Saturday.

Because of the potential for cloud cover, forecasters said that the chances are not good for clear skies to see Saturday’s solar eclipse.

Conditions are forecast to be partly cloudy on Sunday, with chances of rain returning on Monday thanks to the arrival of a cold front.

Higher rainfall amounts are expected in the northern part of the region, with lesser amounts in Lake County.

The weather is predicted to be clear and sunny from Tuesday through Friday.

Temperatures from Saturday through Friday are forecast to range from the low 70s to high 80s during the day, and from the mid to high 50s at night.
