California – A cold, damp chill hangs over the North Coast this morning as temperatures dip into the upper 30s, allowing frost to form on exposed surfaces and vegetation.
According to the National Weather Service in Eureka, a Frost Advisory remains in effect through 8 a.m., with temperatures falling as low as 35 degrees across coastal Del Norte and northern Humboldt County, including areas near Eureka and Fort Dick. Sensitive plants may be damaged if left uncovered.
As the sun rises higher, conditions improve quickly. Skies turn mostly sunny, and temperatures rebound into the low 60s this afternoon. Light winds keep the day calm, offering a sharp contrast to the frosty start.
The weekend stays relatively mild. Highs reach near 60 Saturday and climb into the low 60s again Sunday with partly sunny skies. Mornings remain cool, so gardeners should continue protecting sensitive plants early in the day.
Travel conditions remain favorable through the weekend, though early drivers may notice slick spots on bridges or shaded roads where moisture and cold air briefly combine.
Changes arrive late Sunday into Monday. Clouds thicken, and a chance of showers develops, becoming more widespread by Monday night. Rain is likely into Tuesday, bringing wet roads across US-101 and coastal routes.
Looking ahead, a steady, cooler spring pattern takes hold through midweek with periods of rain and highs dropping into the 50s.

Saturday: Partly sunny, high near 60
Sunday: Partly sunny, high near 62
