Don’t let that icy blue fool you — it’s gonna be hotter than hell in the mountains this weekend, with a Heat Advisory in effect.

What happened to Faugust? We coast dwellers are accustomed to digging out our sweaters and vests this time of year. Instead, it has been downright gorgeous, with sunny skies and temperatures sometimes reaching into the 70s! 

It’s a different story for our neighbors at higher elevation, of course, and they — and you, if you plan on visiting them — should be aware that this weekend the mouth of Hades is poised to blow on the mountains, with temps in Hoopa reaching as high as 108 degrees. 

The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory. Put some effort into keeping cool, especially if you or one of your loved ones is elderly or otherwise at risk. Also: Hydrate.

Meanwhile on the coast: More of this crazy pleasant weather. Get your Vitamin D while you can.
