Eureka, CA – A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for Northern Trinity, California, until 1 a.m. PDT Thursday, with snowfall expected above 4,000 feet.
According to the National Weather Service in Eureka, additional snow accumulations of up to one inch are possible in the affected region, including Highway 3 near Scott Mountain. Motorists should anticipate slippery road conditions, particularly at higher elevations.
The advisory, initially issued earlier this week, has been extended due to continued snowfall and potential travel disruptions. Drivers are urged to reduce speed and use caution while traveling through the impacted areas.
For updated road conditions, travelers can dial 511 or visit the California Department of Transportation website. The National Weather Service also advises checking local weather updates before heading out.
This snowfall event is part of a broader weather pattern affecting the region, with colder temperatures and winter conditions persisting through midweek. While the expected accumulation is light, even a small amount of snow can create hazardous driving conditions, particularly in mountainous areas.
Residents and travelers should prepare accordingly and allow extra time for commutes in affected areas overnight. The advisory is set to expire at 1 a.m. PDT on Thursday unless further updates are issued.
