Eureka, CA – A final round of winter weather is set to bring heavy snow to Northern California, impacting high elevations of Trinity County, Del Norte, and Humboldt through Friday morning.

According to the National Weather Service in Eureka, a Winter Weather Advisoryremains in effect from 10 a.m. Thursday to 10 a.m. Friday, with 3 to 5 inches of snow expected along higher elevations of Highways 299, 199, and 36. Some isolated peaks could see up to 12 inches of accumulation.
