EUREKA, Calif. – Residents along the Northern California coast can expect a mix of foggy nights and sunny afternoons through early next week, with temperatures climbing into the 70s by Monday. Travelers should be cautious of reduced visibility from late-night fog, particularly near Humboldt Bay and Highway 101.
According to the National Weather Service in Eureka, areas of fog are likely after midnight Saturday into early Sunday before clearing out by midmorning. Afternoon highs will reach the mid-60s Sunday and climb toward 70 degrees by Monday under mostly sunny skies. Winds will remain light, shifting north and northwest at 5 to 14 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph on Saturday.
Drivers in Arcata, McKinleyville, and Eureka should allow extra time overnight and early mornings as patchy fog could limit visibility on coastal routes. Conditions improve quickly after sunrise, making afternoons favorable for outdoor plans across Humboldt County.
The stretch of clear weather is expected to hold through at least Tuesday, though a chance of rain may return by late Thursday.
