The National Weather Service said high pressure will bring quiet and dry weather with a fair amount of sunshine and light winds Thursday through Saturday.
Forecasters said the next cold front is projected to swing through the region around Sunday or Sunday night, with snow levels forecast to be at around the 4,000 foot elevation mark on Sunday.
About half and inch to an inch of rain expected for most of northwest California, with lighter amounts likely in Lake County, the forecast said.
Across much of Lake County, the forecast calls for chances of rain on Saturday and Sunday, with the potential for snow to return on Monday morning, dropping to as low as the 1,500-foot elevation mark, the forecast said.
Once that front passes, the forecast calls for clearer weather through midweek.
Through the weekend, daytime temperatures are expected to climb into the high 50s and low 60s around Lake County, dropping into the high 30s at night.
Cooler temperatures are expected early next week, with some parts of the county likely to see daytime temperatures in the high 40s and nighttime conditions in the mid to high 30s.
