| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Eureka CA 143pm PST Fri Jan 9 2026 Synopsis Cool conditions will steadily warm through mid next week. Conditions will remain unseasonably dry, clear, and calm through next week. Moderate offshore flow and cold air allowed for very cool temperatures across the area this past morning with many interior valleys and areas along the coast experiencing apparent temperatures below 30. Skies have remained clear today but gentle winds turning more southerly will help increase coastal moisture and generally increase overnight temperatures slightly. That said, many locations will still see overnight conditions near freezing. Weak upper level ridging will slowly build into the region this weekend and into early next week. Gradual warming will occur by this weekend and build into mid next week. A very weak upper level wave around Sunday could produce midlevel clouds and very light coastal drizzle, but otherwise skies will be mostly clear. Southeast winds will most likely inhibit any strong marine layer formation. Above average temperatures are forecast by Tuesday with some daytime interior highs in the low 70s by early next week. Though not high in absolute terms, this may approach some high temperature records such as around Ukiah by mid week. In contrast to the last couple of weeks, there is very little chance of rain with less than 10% of ensemble members indicating any chance for wetting rain even along the coast by next weekend. /JHW Marine Seas are starting to subside as winds ease and the westerly swell subsides. Combined seas are likely to be below 10 ft by this afternoon and evening. Winds turn southerly today and could be breezy around Cape Mendocino and the northern outer waters, but gusts are still likely to remain below 20 kts in these areas. A mid- period westerly swell will fill in Saturday, though combined seas are likely to remain below 10 ft. Another, larger long-period westerly swell at around 12 ft at 17 seconds fills in Sunday, returning elevated seas. Winds turn northerly early next week and are likely to be breezy south of Cape Mendocino. JB .BEACH HAZARDS...On Sunday, another long period westerly swell originating from a low near the Aleutians fills in at around 7 ft at 20 seconds and peaks around 12 ft at 17 seconds. A Beach Hazard Statement has been issued for this moderate sneaker wave threat late Sunday morning through Monday afternoon. Stay much farther back from the ocean and avoid steep beaches and jetties. Remember, never turn your back on the ocean! JB .EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA... Beach Hazards Statement from Sunday morning through Monday afternoon for CAZ101-103-104-109.
