I used to fly into ACV all the time... Eureka / Arcata airport. And my rental car company always had my car waiting, right on time, in Arcadia.
I did note the weather over the usual approach, and they probably are ducking it, but the planned route probably won't be exactly a piece of cake, either, 'cause it'll no doubt take them over Gorman where they're having their share of weather this evening.
