Extended Forecast: After today’s brief chance of showers, dry weather will take over for the rest of the week. On Tuesday, northerly winds will pick up strength, with strong gusts expected in higher areas of southern Lake County by Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, posing a fire risk due to dry conditions and low humidity. Interior valleys could see cold nights with frost or freezing temperatures due to clear skies and calm winds, possibly requiring frost advisories for areas not yet hit by a freeze this season. Toward the end of the week, the winds should weaken, and while there’s a chance of light rain by the weekend, any significant precipitation is uncertain at this point.
