Eureka, CA – Dangerous surf conditions continue to batter California’s northern coast as Eureka remains under a High Surf Advisory until 5 a.m. Friday, followed by consistent rain through the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, 90% rain chances are expected Friday in Eureka, with south-southwest winds gusting up to 16 mph and temperatures peaking at 54°F. Localized flooding is possible in low-lying coastal areas and near U.S. Route 101, especially where storm drains are blocked or backed up from surf and runoff.
Saturday will bring a short-lived break in the downpour with patchy morning fog and partly sunny skies, but don’t put away the umbrellas yet. Rain returns Saturday night and will linger with a 100% chance of precipitation on Sunday and Monday, accompanied by gusty winds and temps in the mid-40s to low 50s. Drivers along the Humboldt Bay region should expect slick roads and possible delays, especially during early morning and evening hours.
Looking ahead, showers may taper slightly midweek but rain is still likely Tuesday through Thursday, keeping road conditions hazardous and visibility low.
Safety Tips:
- Avoid beaches during high surf events; waves can surge farther inland than expected.
