UPDATE:
Eureka tied the highest temp for the month of June, hitting the 85 degree mark, but the record won’t be official until 5 p.m.
Temperatures have dropped slightly here on Woodley Island, but not before reaching a maximum of 85°. Not official yet, but barring another unlikely warmup, we will likely tie the all time high temperature for June, and will be just 2° shy of the all-time high of 87°. #CAwx

PREVIOUS:
A heat advisory issued by the National Weather Service in Eureka is in effect until 7 p.m. tonight, including coastal areas.
According to a tweet earlier today, temperatures at the Woodley Island office reached 83 degrees, just two degree shy of the record for the month of June, but easily surpassed the date’s high of 69 set back in 1963 by hitting 73 degrees by 9:30 a.m.
The Eureka office reported in a thread on the post. “Yesterday the high was 81, which ranks 4th (39th all-time). We'll see what today reaches!”
Cooler temperatures are expected to return later in the week.
Due to the rarity and disproportional impacts of these high temperatures along the coast, we have opted to expand the Heat Advisory into coastal areas of Humboldt County and additional portions of Mendocino County. This includes many communities in the Humboldt Bay region. #CAWx https://t.co/BmvwyHyDFO
