| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Eureka CA 209pm PST Wednesday Feb 25 2026 Synopsis The chance of showers continues to diminish significantly today. Dry conditions with diurnal fog conditions will dominate through Friday. A chance of rainshowers returns to the North Coast this weekend. A strong atmospheric river storm has moved out of Northwest California. Some main stem rivers will continue to swell with runoff through this afternoon. Atmospheric conditions will quiet through this evening through the end of the week. Considerable low level moisture will linger in the wake of the front and with warm air aloft, expect considerable low cloud cover and fog in the interior valleys and along the coast. All of this added low cloud coverage should enable nighttime inland tempertures to remain unseasonably warm. Otherwise, expect dry weather until late Friday night when the stalled out upper low over the central Pacific edges closer to the coast. The exact timing and location of trough passage remains uncertain, yet most ensemble members show the center somewhere between 35-40N and 130-135W by 12Z Sunday. CW3E is showing both the GFS (Global Forecast System) and ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) ensembles having the moisture flux with this next system to remain under 250kg/m/s. Vorticity values are currently forecasted to remain low as well. Both of these factors together combining make it seem like there is not a high chance of any major precipitation at this time. The NBM model agrees with a 50% probability of >0.25" and a 25% of >0.5" in the Humboldt Bay area by Sunday morning. More rain is possible in the King range and interior mountains of Humboldt and Del Norte Co. NBM data does show a subtle hint for some convection or thunder (<15%) Saturday. Global models show a low to mid level speed max approaching the area Saturday as cold core edges its way over NW CA. More details on the extent of this weekends weather will be clearer soon. DS Marine Mostly gentle, north winds have built across the waters today with few gust even over 10 kts near shore. There are some isolated areas of gusts over 20 kts in the far outer waters. Such gentle winds have generate short period seas generally no more than 4 feet. Winds will calm even more on Thursday before slightly increasing (but still remaining mostly gentle) Friday. Beyond meager short period seas, a few minor southwest and northwest swells are impacting the waters. EVen combined with short period seas,combined seas are generally below 6 feet and will remain so through Friday. A steeper northwest swell up to 8 feet at 15 seconds will bring more moderate conditions to the waters into the weekend. /JHW Hydrology River Flood Warnings will remain in effect for the Eel River, Navarro River, and the Russian River at Hopland.

The Eel River peaked at 23.1 ft (just over Moderate Flood which is at 22 ft) at 7am this morning and should drop below flood stage by this evening. River levels over 22 ft will result in the western half of the Eel Delta being completely flooded, including: areas northwest of Loleta and Cannibal Island Road. The Russian River at Hopland, currently 14.9 ft, peaked at 19.12 ft very early this morning and is expected to drop below flood stage by late this afternoon. River levels over 18 feet will cause flooding of Highway 222 near Ukiah with secondary roads in low- lying areas potentially flooding in Hopland, Ukiah, and Talmage. The Navarro River peaked at 26.12 ft (just over Minor Flood, 23 ft) very early this morning and dropped below flood stage (currently at 18.0 ft) by mid morning. River levels over 23 ft result in the flooding of Highway 128 approximately 5 miles east of Highway 1. As of very early this morning, Highway 128 remains completely closed due to flooding.
