California – Cold air settles low along the coast early, leaving rooftops damp and headlights glowing through thin haze. By late morning, sunlight breaks through, warming streets and signaling a calmer winter pattern for the North Coast.
According to the National Weather Service in Eureka, clouds thin through mid-morning today, with highs reaching near 60 degrees. Winds stay light, helping improve travel conditions after a chilly start. Tonight, clouds increase again as temperatures drop to the upper 30s, setting up another cold morning.
Saturday begins mostly cloudy, then gradually brightens by afternoon. Highs climb to around 62, one of the warmer days in the short-term window. Calm winds keep conditions comfortable, though fog may develop late Saturday night, especially near Humboldt Bay and low-lying roads.
Sunday turns partly sunny and cooler. Afternoon temperatures top out near 59, while morning fog lingers in pockets before lifting. Drivers along U.S. 101 should remain alert during early hours, when visibility can change quickly near coastal curves.
MLK Day Monday looks favorable for travel and outdoor plans. Mostly sunny skies dominate, with highs near 58. While afternoons feel mild, winter nights remain cold. Patchy fog redevelops Monday night, followed by another cool start Tuesday.
This stretch brings dry weather, but repeated cold mornings raise the risk of slick spots where moisture settles and refreezes before sunrise. Plan slower starts during early drives and allow extra time near the coast.
Looking ahead, clouds increase midweek with a slight chance of rain by Wednesday night. For now, winter stays quiet but watchful. Are you seeing fog or frost where you live this morning?
