A winter weather advisory is in effect for areas including northern Lake County through 11 a.m. Monday due to the forecast for snow down to the 1,500-foot elevation level.
On Monday, rain is expected early, with the potential for light and isolated showers later in the day before conditions clear as a weather trough moves out of the North Coast and high pressure starts to build in, the National Weather Service said.
Winds of close to 20 miles per hour are forecast for Monday, with gusts of 23 miles per hour, forecasters said.
The forecast calls for chilly temperatures in Lake County and across the region on Monday night and into Tuesday, with the potential for a hard freeze. Tuesday night into Wednesday also will be cold.
The National Weather Service reported that, starting on Thursday, an upper level trough is expected to bring more rain and mountain snow to the area. Snowfall is expected to remain above 3,500 to 4,500 feet, with rainfall amounts looking to be modest.
A “generally wet pattern” is expected to continue through the weekend, the forecast said.
The specific Lake County forecast said chances of rain are in the forecast from Wednesday night through Sunday.
Daytime temperatures this week will range from the mid 40s to mid 50s, with nighttime temperatures down into the 30s.
