For those of us in Sacramento, today's weather seems to be inviting a bit of unpredictability. According to the National Weather Service, there's a 30 percent chance of showers happening mostly between the morning at 9 am and stretching until about 4 pm. Not exactly an ideal time for those planning an outdoor lunch, but with skies partly sunny and temperatures hitting a comfortable high of nearly 74, it might be worth just packing an umbrella just in case.
As the day gives way to night, the odds of showers creep back, bringing a 30 percent possibility of rain after 4 am. The evening promises to cool down slightly, with temperatures hovering around a low of 61, and a southwest breeze that could quiet down completely as night falls. For the late night diners, it would seem that the calm before the storm guarantees a tranquil meal, and the chance for rain shouldn't disrupt too many plans, with new precipitation amounts expected to be less than a tenth of an inch.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, the weather plays a slightly wetter tune. The National Weather Service is forecasting a bump up to a 50 percent chance of showers throughout the day with mostly cloudy skies and a high approaching a cooler 69 degrees. Winds are anticipated to remain understated, with calm becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. As showers move through, they're predicted to leave behind less than a tenth of an inch in new rainfall.
Tomorrow night, the likelihood of showers diminishes to a mild 20 percent, ceasing before the clock strikes 11 pm. The clouds, while mostly clearing up, will be holding onto the night with a low temperature settling around 58. A west-southwest breeze might make its presence known at a gentle pace of about 5 mph before calming down later in the evening, offering a hint of movement in the otherwise still night air.
By Thursday, things start to look up with partly sunny skies and highs anticipated to rebound to a comfortable near 75 degrees. While the mornings may start out still, a west wind is expected to pick up to around 5 mph as the day progresses. The next few days seem promising for those longing for clear skies, with Thursday night leading into a sunny Friday, holding highs tapping at the door of the 80s, a trend that could carry us straight through to the opening of next week's workspace.
