Eureka, CA – If you live in Eureka, you might want to keep your umbrella close because rain is on the way! While Thursday’s showers will be on the lighter side, don’t let that fool you—the real rain event kicks in this weekend. So, if you’ve got outdoor plans, now’s the time to enjoy the drier moments before the heavier showers roll in.
Thursday: A Drizzly, Gray Day
Thursday will be one of those classic Eureka days—cloudy, cool, and drizzly. Expect light showers throughout the day, nothing too heavy, but enough to make the roads damp and the air feel chilly. Temperatures will stay in the mid-50s, so while it won’t be freezing, the dampness will make it feel a bit cooler. A light jacket and an umbrella should do the trick if you’re heading out.
Friday: A Short Break in the Rain
Friday brings a bit of a pause in the wet weather. The skies will still be mostly cloudy, and while there could be a few spotty showers, it won’t be anything too significant. If you need to run errands or want to spend a little time outdoors, Friday is your best chance before the real rain moves in. Temperatures will still be in the mid-50s, so it’ll feel similar to Thursday but with fewer showers.
Saturday & Sunday: Get Ready for a Soggy Weekend
By Saturday afternoon, the real rain starts to roll in. Unlike Thursday’s light drizzle, this weekend’s rain will be steadier and heavier. The showers will stick around through Sunday, making it a wet, dreary weekend. If you’ve got plans to be outside, you’ll definitely need a rain jacket, boots, and an umbrella.
Sunday, in particular, is shaping up to be a washout with moderate to heavy showers expected at times. Roads could get slick, and visibility may be reduced, so if you’re driving, take it easy.
What This Means for You:
- Thursday: Light rain throughout the day—enough to keep things damp, but not a total washout.
- Friday: A break in the rain with just a few stray showers. If you need to get outside, this is your best window.
- Saturday & Sunday: The real rain arrives—heavier showers move in Saturday afternoon and last through Sunday, bringing wet and chilly conditions.
- Thursday and Friday bring cool, cloudy weather with light showers—not too bad, but still a little dreary.
- The weekend is when things get wet, so expect heavier rain starting Saturday afternoon.
- If you have outdoor plans, get them done before Saturday!
Enjoy the calmer weather while it lasts, and be ready for a rainy and soggy weekend ahead. Stay dry, drive safely, and keep an eye on the forecast for any updates!
