California – Low clouds cling to the coastline this morning as the Pacific sits calm and gray, but brighter skies are already breaking through. A mild February pattern is taking hold along the North Coast, offering a brief stretch of quiet winter weather before changes arrive.
According to the National Weather Service in Eureka, temperatures climb into the low 60s today under mostly sunny skies. Winds remain light, keeping conditions stable for coastal travel and outdoor plans. Roads stay dry, and no weather hazards are expected through midweek.
Wednesday brings the warmest day of the stretch. Sunshine dominates, and highs reach the mid-60s across Eureka and surrounding Humboldt Bay communities. The air feels more like early spring than winter, especially during the afternoon hours. Morning cloud cover clears quickly, improving visibility along U.S. 101.
By Thursday, conditions stay pleasant with sunshine and highs pushing the mid to upper 60s inland. Even coastal neighborhoods enjoy mild air, though cooler breezes linger near the water. This is the best window of the week for travel, errands, and outdoor work.
Changes begin to line up by Friday. Clouds increase, and temperatures slip back into the lower 60s. The air turns damp again, hinting at the return of a more active Pacific pattern.
Rain chances rise heading into the Feb 6–8 weekend. Light rain may develop Saturday, with steadier showers likely by Sunday. Roads could become slick after several dry days, increasing the risk of accidents during the first wet drives. Plan extra time and reduce speed, especially during morning and evening travel.
Looking ahead, long-range outlooks suggest above-normal temperatures may return later next week, even as rain chances linger. For now, enjoy the calm stretch, but keep rain gear ready.
