Strong gusts and dry conditions are creating critical fire weather in Lake and Mendocino Counties, with winds reaching up to 55 mph on mountain ridges. These gusty winds, paired with cooler temperatures, will bring frost to interior areas of the region over the next few days, with overnight lows dipping into the low to mid-30s. Frost is even possible along the northern coast near Humboldt Bay. While dry weather persists, rain is expected to arrive this weekend, with Del Norte and Humboldt Counties seeing the highest chances of rain, and a larger storm system may bring significant rainfall early next week. Stay alert for changing weather conditions!
