Hazy, smoky skies forecast for Lake County into the weekend

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The National Weather Service’s forecast says Lake County should expect more smoke and haze through part of the weekend.

Lake County’s blue summer skies began to turn a smoky hue on Thursday evening as smoke from fires to the north began making its way into the air basin.

The National Weather Service said northwest winds pushed smoke from the smoke from the
fires more to the southeast on Thursday, bringing smoke to eastern Mendocino and Lake counties.

Widespread haze is forecast on Friday, with patchy smoke from Friday night through Saturday night, according to the forecast.

The skies are forecast to be clear from Sunday into next week.

Temperatures will hover in the high 90s during the day and the high 50s to low 60s at night through the coming week, the forecast said.
