Eureka, Calif. – Dangerous heat continues to grip Trinity, Humboldt, and Del Norte counties, with temperatures soaring between 102°F and 110°F through 11 p.m. Monday. Local officials are urging residents to take action as the risk for heat-related illness rises sharply in these conditions.
According to the National Weather Service in Eureka, the Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect for interior areas of Del Norte and Humboldt counties as well as all of Trinity County. Overnight lows will only dip to the low 60s in valleys, while higher elevations may remain in the 70s, offering little relief.
