Spring may be here, but Mother Nature has one more storm up her sleeve before we get to the sunny days ahead! If you’re in Hanford or Eureka, expect a wet and stormy Thursday, with rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds making things messy. The good news? The storm clears out just in time for a beautiful weekend.
Here’s what you need to know:
Hanford: Stormy Skies and a Rainy Thursday
Hanford, get ready for a wet and breezy day! Showers will start in the morning and stick around through the afternoon, with a 70% chance of rain. And just to keep things exciting, a few thunderstorms may roll through as well.
- High: 58°F (14°C) (but with the wind and rain, it’ll feel cooler!)
- Low: 43°F (6°C)
- Thunderstorms possible—expect some rumbles of thunder in the afternoon!
- Winds: 11-22 mph, making it feel even chillier.
If you’re heading out, bring an umbrella and watch for slick roads! Wind gusts and wet pavement could make driving a little tricky.
Eureka: Chilly, Breezy, and Damp
Eureka, your weather isn’t quite as dramatic as Hanford’s, but you’ll still get a mix of wind, clouds, and possible showers. The day will start off partly sunny, but breezy conditions and occasional rain will keep things feeling cool.
- High: 55°F (13°C)
- Low: 38°F (3°C)
- Windy and chilly—definitely not a beach day!
If you’re planning to be near the coast, expect rough surf and choppy waves. Probably a good day to stay bundled up indoors with a warm drink!
The Good News: Sunshine Returns for the Weekend!
By Friday afternoon, the storm moves out, and we’re in for a much nicer weekend.
- Hanford: By Saturday, the sun is back, with highs reaching 66°F (19°C) and cool but comfortable nights around 38°F (3°C).
- Eureka: High clouds will linger, but the rain clears up, with highs near 54°F (12°C) and lows around 42°F (5°C).
How to Get Through the Stormy Thursday:
Check the Forecast: Weather can change quickly, so stay updated.
Drive Carefully: Wet roads and wind make driving a little dicey—slow down and stay alert!
Secure Loose Items: Strong winds can send patio furniture and trash cans flying.
Dress Warm & Dry: Waterproof jackets, boots, and an umbrella will be your best friends.
Thursday will be stormy, wet, and windy across Hanford and Eureka, but hang in there—by Saturday, the sunshine returns! If you’re heading out, be ready for rain and possible thunderstorms in Hanford and chilly, breezy conditions in Eureka.
