Klamath Falls, Oregon – A sweltering stretch of triple-digit heat is expected to grip southern Oregon and far northern California starting Saturday afternoon, with highs reaching 100°F in areas like Klamath Falls, Alturas, and Mount Shasta through at least Monday evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Medford, a Heat Advisory is in effect from 2 p.m. Saturday to 8 p.m. Monday for a broad swath including Klamath Basin, Lake County, Modoc County, and Siskiyou County.
