California — Low clouds drift in from the Pacific as the morning air feels damp and cool along the North Coast. Streetlights glow through haze, and the ocean influence is unmistakable. Conditions feel calm now, but subtle changes are lining up as the week moves forward.
Eureka starts the day mostly cloudy with temperatures in the mid-40s. Skies brighten at times today, allowing partial sun and highs near 59°F. Winds stay light, which helps clouds linger longer along the coast than inland. To be fair, it feels quiet for late January.
Thursday and Friday stay mostly cloudy and mild. Afternoon highs hover near 59 to 61°F, with cool nights dipping into the mid-40s. Roads remain dry, and travel impacts stay minimal through Friday evening. Still, coastal moisture keeps pavement damp during early mornings, especially near U.S. 101.
Attention shifts heading into the weekend. By Saturday night, rain chances increase, with showers more likely on Sunday. Latest guidance shows light to moderate rainfall, not a major storm, but enough to affect outdoor plans and travel timing. Wet pavement and reduced visibility could develop quickly after sunset.
Plan ahead if you’re driving Sunday morning. Slick curves and shaded stretches may catch drivers off guard after several dry days. Keep headlights on during rain and allow extra stopping distance.
This local pattern fits a broader setup. NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook shows near-normal precipitation for Northern California as February begins, while warmer-than-average temperatures dominate much of the western U.S. That means rain opportunities return, but no sustained cold snap is expected.
For now, enjoy the calm stretch. Clouds rule the sky, temperatures stay comfortable, and rain holds off a bit longer. Are you noticing thicker fog or drizzle near the coast this morning? Let us know what conditions look like where you are.
