As the weather takes a nuanced shift, Sacramento residents are bracing for an eclectic mix of showers and sun in the coming days. The National Weather Service forecasts likely showers today, especially after 1 p.m., with a 70% chance of precipitation and new amounts of a quarter to half an inch, providing a much-needed baptism for the city's streets.
Tonight, the rainfall is set to intensify, with showers expected mainly after 9 p.m. The chance of precipitation is climbing to 90%, and winds are picking up, gusting as high as 28 mph. This may bring an additional half to three-quarters of an inch of liquid respite to our longing soils. With the weather pendulum swinging back and forth, the start of the work week won't stray far from the soggy setting. Showers are the main theme before 4 p.m. tomorrow, and though the sun is in no hurry to show its full face, residents can look forward to a mostly sunny Tuesday.
The wet theme plays on into Wednesday night with a slight chance of showers after 10 p.m., but Thursday sees a return of potential showers, especially before 4 p.m., with the rest of the week giving way to a mostly sunny disposition and a consistent high hovering near 59 degrees, placing a gentle hand on the thermostat of our outdoor plans. For those looking ahead to weekend wardrobe choices, Saturday is expected to be mostly sunny with a high near 59.
