Eureka, California – A damp start to Thursday, July 17th, is on tap for Eureka and the North Coast, with clouds and the chance for drizzle impacting morning commutes and weekend plans alike. Residents and travelers on US-101 should watch for slick roads as light drizzle could reduce visibility and make surfaces slippery.
According to the National Weather Service, skies over Eureka will be mostly cloudy on Thursday, with a slight chance of drizzle developing late. Winds will be light from the west, around 5 mph, as temperatures reach a mild high near 59°F. While the drizzle may be light, even a small amount of moisture can create slick spots on local highways and intersections—particularly early in the day and overnight. Drivers are urged to slow down, use headlights, and give extra room between vehicles. If you’re planning errands or travel, consider shifting times to avoid the cloudiest, dampest hours.
Looking ahead, Friday stays mostly cloudy with highs in the upper 50s and a calming wind from the northwest. The weekend brings a gradual return of sunshine: Saturday will see partly sunny skies and a comfortable high near 63°F, making it the pick of the week for outdoor plans in Eureka and along the Humboldt Bay shoreline.
Sunday into early next week remains mostly cloudy, with mild highs near 62°F and overnight lows steady in the low to mid-50s. No major storms are expected, but persistent clouds could limit beach and hiking visibility, so pack layers and keep an eye out for updates.
Warnings remain in effect for patchy drizzle and cloud cover through Thursday night. More advisories may be issued if conditions change.
