LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — After the first week of winter saw a steady amount of rainfall in Lake County, the forecast for the last days of 2025 calls for clearer conditions.

On Friday, the National Weather Service’s flood watch and wind advisory for Lake County will end.

After several days and more than half a dozen inches of rain, Clear Lake’s level has risen by about 1 foot Rumsey, the special measure for the lake, according to the United States Geological Survey.

The lake’s early Friday level, at just under 4 feet Rumsey, puts Clear Lake’s depth at well above the historical average, according to Lake County Water Resources data.

While concerns about further flooding appear to be reduced for now, the potential for showers will continue through Saturday, at which point sunny and clear conditions are expected to return.

Chances for showers are again forecast on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

Temperatures are expected to be in the high 40s during the day and high 30s at night through the weekend, rising to daytime temperatures into the low 50s and low 40s at night into the middle of next week.
