California’s North Coast feels damp and gray this morning as low clouds hang over Humboldt Bay and rain taps steadily on rooftops. Wet pavement shines along city streets, and the air feels cool and heavy as moisture continues to move ashore.
According to the National Weather Service, rain spreads across Eureka through the day, with chances reaching 100 percent at times. Winds increase from the south at 10 to 13 mph, with gusts topping 20 mph during heavier showers. Rainfall totals through tonight could reach a quarter to half an inch.
Drivers should expect slick conditions along U.S. Route 101, especially near low spots where water can pool. Visibility drops during steadier rain, and braking distances increase quickly on shaded stretches. Plan extra time if traveling through the city or along the coast today.
Rain continues into Sunday, mainly during the morning and afternoon hours. Temperatures stay cool, with highs near the upper 50s and lows dipping into the low 40s. The damp chill will linger, keeping roads wet for long periods.
By Monday, rain tapers off, but clouds hold firm. Highs settle near the mid-50s, and calmer winds offer a brief break. Another round of showers becomes possible Tuesday and Wednesday, though coverage looks lighter and more scattered.
Looking ahead to mid and late next week, signs point toward a gradual warming trend. Temperatures inch upward toward the mid- to upper 50s, hinting at a more stable February pattern as rain chances become less frequent.
For now, keep rain gear handy and slow down on wet roads. Conditions remain unsettled through early next week. How are road conditions looking in your part of Humboldt County?
