There is very high forecast uncertainty, but there is slight potential for wetting rain along the coast and over high interior terrain this Saturday. At the high end of the forecast, light wetting rain and drizzle could be expected along the North Coast with rain showers and wet thunderstorms over Trinity County. There is little to no chance of rain for Lake and Mendocino Counties.
The weakening of hot and dry weather will be further aided over the next couple days by strong northwest winds in the afternoon which will pull cooler marine air inland. Gusts will be particularly strong in Mendocino and Lake Counties. Though the air will be more moist, be cautious of increased fire danger!
