California — Low clouds hug the coastline this morning as patchy fog drifts across Eureka’s streets and nearby highways. Headlights glow softly through the haze, and the air feels damp and cool near the bay.
Patchy fog developed before sunrise and continues into the early morning hours. Visibility may dip quickly along U.S. Route 101 and coastal roads, especially near Humboldt Bay. Calm winds allow fog to linger longer in low spots and shaded stretches.
Temperatures hover in the mid-40s early, reinforcing the fog’s grip. As the morning progresses, clouds thin gradually. Partial sunshine breaks through by late morning, lifting highs near 49 degrees. Roads improve, but damp pavement may remain slick for a time.
Tonight brings another round of fog, forming earlier along the coast. Low temperatures settle near 41 degrees. Drivers heading out late should stay alert for sudden visibility changes, especially near bridges and open water.
Friday offers a noticeable shift. Morning fog fades faster, and sunshine strengthens through the afternoon. Highs climb into the mid-50s, creating a milder feel. Friday night turns cooler again, with fog returning after sunset.
The weekend looks calmer and brighter. Saturday delivers sunshine and lighter winds, pushing highs close to 60 degrees. Saturday night cools into the upper 30s, with clouds increasing. Sunday stays mostly cloudy but mild, topping out near 57 degrees.
Early next week trends slightly warmer. Clouds dominate Monday, with highs near the upper 50s. By Tuesday, rain chances increase, signaling a wetter pattern developing along the North Coast.
Plan extra time for morning travel today and again Friday night. Use low-beam headlights in fog and slow down on coastal roads. Enjoy clearer afternoons while they last. How foggy was your drive this morning around Eureka?
