California’s North Coast starts the day wrapped in gray, with mist drifting across redwood-lined roads and harbor streets. Headlights glow softly through patchy fog, and damp pavement reflects the early light. Conditions feel quiet, but travel requires extra care right now.
This morning, Eureka sits in the mid-40s with mist and areas of fog reducing visibility, especially near Highway 101 and low-lying coastal stretches. Calm winds allow fog to linger, making early drives slower than usual. Drivers should ease off speeds and expect sudden visibility drops near the bay and river valleys.
Clouds dominate much of today, keeping temperatures cool and steady. Highs hover near the upper 40s, offering little warmth through the afternoon. Fog redevelops tonight, and visibility may drop again after sunset. Plan ahead if traveling late or early.
Conditions begin to shift Thursday. Clouds hang on early, then gradually thin as the day goes on. Afternoon temperatures climb into the mid-50s, signaling a slow but welcome change. Thursday night stays cool, with patchy fog possible once again.
Friday delivers the clearest break. Sunshine takes over, pushing highs into the mid-50s with light north winds. Roads dry out, and travel conditions improve noticeably. The weekend continues that trend, with sunny skies and highs near 59 Saturday. Nights remain chilly, but afternoons feel brighter and more comfortable for outdoor plans.
Looking ahead, the 6–10 day outlook suggests near to slightly above normal temperatures for Northern California, with limited precipitation chances returning early next week.
