The National Weather Service in Sacramento has provided a forecast that Sacramento residents may find almost monotonous – but important for those needing to plan for the heat. Today, the capital city will bask under sunny skies with temperatures climbing to a summer standard of 91 degrees. A light breeze from the southwest is expected to pick up in the afternoon.
The evening will cool down to a mild 58 degrees, thanks to a southwest wind that will calm after midnight, setting the stage for another scorching day ahead. The week’s warmth doesn’t relent, with tomorrow's high inching closer to triple digits at 98 degrees, sunlight reigning supreme over any chance of cloud cover.
According to the NWS Sacramento Weather Forecast, the clear skies will persist tomorrow night, as temperatures dip slightly to a low around 65. With no respite from the heat in sight, Thursday's forecast signals the beginning of a trend with its predicted high of a sweltering 101 degrees. A calm wind will offer little solace, shifting west at about 5 mph in the afternoon.
Even the night will hold onto the day's warmth, showing few signs of cooling with temperatures expected to hover around the mid-60s through the weekend. Friday's high is yet again expected to reach the century mark. The weekend continues this hot streak, with sunny and high-temperature benchmarks of 99 degrees for both Saturday and Sunday.
Residents planning outdoor activities or extensive exposure to the elements next week should prepare for more sun-baked days. Monday promises to keep the searing pace, as the NWS anticipates a high near 98 degrees.
