Eureka, Calif. – Coastal residents can expect a stretch of mild, steady weather heading into the weekend, with highs in the mid-60s and recurring morning fog before skies clear in the afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Eureka, patchy fog will develop late tonight and again Friday morning, reducing visibility along U.S. Highway 101 and near Humboldt Bay before lifting by midday. Winds remain light, generally out of the northwest at 5 to 10 mph.
By Saturday, a similar pattern continues with fog lingering into the late morning hours before partly sunny skies return. Inland valleys will stay slightly warmer, but the coast will hold steady near 66°F. Evening and overnight hours will see cooler lows in the mid-50s with fog reforming.
Travelers are urged to use caution during the early morning commute as fog could limit visibility on coastal routes, particularly between Eureka, Arcata, and McKinleyville. Boaters should also be prepared for reduced visibility along the nearshore Pacific waters.
Looking ahead, mild temperatures and occasional coastal fog remain the trend through early next week, with only a slight chance of showers by Tuesday and Wednesday.
