Last Map Update: Tue, Aug 12, 2025 at 9:54:19 pm PDT

A Heat Advisory is in effect for northeast California, Surprise Valley, and western Nevada until 9 AM Wednesday. High temperatures are expected to range from 95 to 105 degrees, with overnight lows between 65 and 72 degrees in the hottest valleys. These conditions will provide little overnight relief, increasing the risk of heat-related illness, especially for sensitive groups and those without adequate cooling. Avoid strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day, drink plenty of water, and take breaks in air-conditioned spaces.
Happy Tuesday! Today will be the hottest day for many, but cooler temps are in store to end the week! Showers & t-storms are possible (10-30% odds) this afternoon, mainly in the Sierra & Sierra Front.
