Eureka National Weather Service.

The U.S. National Weather Service reports a chance of isolated dry thunderstorms throughout eastern Humboldt this afternoon, and later this evening.

Meteorologist with the NWS of Eureka Ryan Aylward tells the Outpost that chances of lightning have decreased for today, but may pose a larger threat at the end of the week.

“We’re still waiting on any development out there,” Aylward said. “Today the clouds were a little higher than we expected; [Lightning] isn’t as likely as we were expecting, but that doesnt mean it isn’t still a threat.”

Aylward said a system with a higher chance of lightning may develop toward the end of the week.

Thunderstorms are also possible in eastern Del Norte and in Trinity Counties. LoCO keep you updated throughout the week.
