Sacramento is settling into a classic stretch of its summer weather pattern, according to the latest from the National Weather Service (NWS). The forecast, predictably bright and increasingly hot, outlined a clear trajectory toward the kind of heat that demands respect and hydration. "Today: Sunny, with a high near 91. Southwest wind 5 to 8 mph," the NWS reports.
With the sun settling firmly in the sky, tonight’s conditions are pegged to be "Mostly clear, with a low around 58. South wind 6 to 9 mph." The gradual climb in temperatures will continue steadily throughout the remainder of the week.
Thursday will mimic today's sunny disposition, as the NWS predicts "Sunny, with a high near 92. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon." Even as the sun dips below the horizon, the evening air will hold its warmth, "Clear, with a low around 60. South wind around 7 mph." indicating a consistent pattern of mild nighttime conditions.
The end of the working week spells out an undoubted rise in temperature. The NWS spells it out clearly: "Friday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 97. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon." These hotter conditions will lead into a night that stays "Clear, with a low around 64."
Further ramping up the heat, the weekend forecast shows no sign of respite from the sunshine with "Saturday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 98," and the overnight temperature resting at a comfortable "Clear, with a low around 63." Sacramento residents, brace yourselves for a steady stream of what some might call 'ice cream weather,' as Sunday and the beginning of the next work week promise unbroken sunshine and highs pushing against the high 90s.
