Major Heat Risk in Inland Areas This Weekend: Prepare for Triple-Digit Temperatures
The National Weather Service in Eureka is warning residents to prepare for significantly hotter weather starting Friday and continuing through the weekend, with triple-digit temperatures expected across much of the interior.
According to the NWS graphic released Tuesday morning, temperatures will climb dramatically in inland areas like Willow Creek, Hoopa, and Covelo—reaching highs of 107°F to 110°F between Friday and Sunday. Trinity Center, Del Loma, and Ruth are forecast to see similar extremes. Even Weaverville is expected to peak at 104°F on Saturday.
The agency emphasizes that these temperatures pose a major heat risk for anyone without effective cooling or adequate hydration. Heat-related impacts could strain health systems, especially in sensitive industries and vulnerable populations.
“Be ready for much hotter weather this weekend,” the NWS wrote in a Facebook post. “Drink plenty of water, wear lightweight clothing, never leave kids or pets unattended in vehicles, spend time in air conditioning, check on the elderly or ill neighbors and family members and take care of pets.”
A quick look at tomorrow’s Forecast
The NOAA forecast shows that the warmer weather will start tomorrow with parts of Southern Humboldt’s interior will be mostly sunny with highs in the low 90s, while coastal areas like Eureka will be around 67°F. Hoopa will be in-between the two–“Mostly cloudy through mid morning, then gradual clearing, with a high near 88, NOAA says.
Winds in Mendocino and Lake Counties
Gusty west-northwesterly winds are also expected Wednesday afternoon in Mendocino and Lake counties, adding a layer of concern for fire weather in those regions, although no red flag warnings have yet been issued.
Residents are urged to take precautions as the heat builds toward the weekend, especially in areas forecast to exceed 100°F for multiple days in a row.

“The tech firms and several of the power companies serving them strongly deny they are burdening others. They say higher utility bills are paying for overdue improvements to the power grid that benefit all customers. In some cases, they said in response to criticism from consumer and business advocates that they are committed to covering additional costs. But regulators — and even some utilities — are growing skeptical.”
People across the country
have been getting increased
electric bills of, in some cases
over 300%.
Those with the highest
bills have found
that new, “Data Centers”
have been built in
their billing region.
Oligarchs don’t pay.
Ever.
We pay.
Please be aware
if you’re using AC.
Monitor your bill
as much as they’ll let you.
Where you’ll find the
whackiest ‘math’ you’ve
ever seen.
People with babies.
Elderly poor.
Health compromised
people sitting in 100f

While electronic data

at 68degrees
to allow the billionaires
to eliminate our jobs.
Is the most,

To a certain extent it isn’t related. But then if you depend on air conditioning in the heat, your electric bill will reflect the cost of data centers, etc.
Could you at least wait until the jail thread starts before crapping on the others?
I agree with Dad. This is too important an issue to get lost in the political insanity of the jail thread.
AI has been way over hyped, businesses are greedily deploying way before it is capable of doing well what they expect it to do and TPTB seem have fallen prey its siren song of wealth generation. It will be waste power because people find it to play with.
While in the end it will be a good tool, now it will lead to an series of errors in all sorts of places as people rush to embrace it. That will cost people money to support, cost them jobs that earn them money and will only find an equilibrium when the power costs have risen to make it pricey to roll out. The worse thing is that it will create errors by businesses from hospitals to utilities that will cost lives too.
Yikes, 76 Sunday in Eureka.
And that’s at the NOAA office right on the bay too. It’ll be in the 80s in Cutten. It’ll really warm up in the woods.
It gets into the 70’s along the coast and we are in a heat wave. People inland will come here to cool off. We have been getting an afternoon breeze also.
It’s happening as we keyboard. Those that can, pull trailers and stay in parks, KOA’s, or stay with friends and relatives, many finding relief from the high temps along our beautiful coastline.
I trust you are being sarcastic.
If not, cry me a effing river. 104 where we are.
79 here in the coastal mountains, with incessant wind.
“Oh, the humanity!”…..106 or so in Willow Creek.
Get over here. We have tons of room on the coast.
What, it’s going to be hot??? How could that be in California? Of course it’s going to be hot, it’s summer. Now, in other breaking news.
It doesn’t hurt to get prepared. The worst part is that there will be less cool off at night. That has always been a strategy to vent the heat inside the house in the morning then shut up the house from the outside heat during the day. There’s going to be a period where that is not so effective.
Let’s us be thankful.
120 in Phoenix yesterday (highest recorded was 122 in 1990).
Nighttime temp was 90.
No cooling down the house with windows open at night,
not there.
Do we all feel better now?
I was in Phoenix once when it was 100 at 10:00 at night.
Crumb-bum motel had broken AC, no other room available.
Times like that you ask God what you’d done that was so wrong.
