Dangerously hot conditions with temperatures up to 105 degrees are possible for northeast California beginning Sunday afternoon, according to forecasters at the National Weather Service office in Reno, who have issued an Excessive Heat Watch for the entire region.
From Sunday afternoon through Wednesday evening 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 out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true during warm or hot weather when car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.
