Clouds began to thin out Tuesday morning following a weekend of intermittent, though sometimes heavy, rainfall. According to Accuweather, Lakeport received 1.83 inches of rain between Friday and Monday, bringing the monthly total to 2.05 — well ahead of the 1.48 ‘normal’ mark. Other parts of the county received more or less precipitation. Accuweather recorded 4 inches of rain falling on Clearlake over the same span. The lake rose from 1.29 to 1.37 on the Rumsey Gauge. The county’s next bout with wet weather is due midweek, but may come as early as Sunday, according to forecasts. – Dave Faries — Lake County Publishing
