Forecasters at the National Weather Service’s office in Reno have issued an Excessive Heat Watch for Saturday afternoon through Monday evening, warning people in our area to expect dangerously hot conditions with afternoon temperatures between 100 to 108 possible here in the valley, and mid 80s to mid 90s in the mountains of northeastern California.
Weather experts warn that the extreme heat will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities.
Monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for updates on this situation. Be prepared to drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
