The National Weather Service says Sacramento will have calm but chilly weather with some fog and frost. Today will start with frost in some areas, then turn mostly sunny. The high will be around 52 degrees, with light winds becoming calm later in the day, according to the National Weather Service.

Tonight, the outlook suggests a shift towards cloudier skies. "Tonight: Patchy fog after 1am. Patchy frost after 3am. Otherwise, increasing clouds, with a low around 35. Calm wind," states the National Weather Service Sacramento forecast. While the temperatures will hover just above freezing, the calm winds should offer a respite from any biting cold. But, with the fog rolling in post-midnight, visibility might become an issue for early morning commuters.

For those making weekend plans, Saturday and Sunday are looking marginally warmer. "Saturday: Partly sunny, with a high near 53. Calm wind becoming north northwest around 5 mph in the afternoon," the National Weather Service forecasts. The evening is expected to continue the trend with "Patchy fog after 10pm. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 36. Calm wind." The same pattern of morning fog and partly sunny skies will persist through Sunday, providing Sacramento residents with consistent weather to cap their weekend.

The consistent weather pattern continues into Monday and throughout the next week. As per the National Weather Service, "Monday: Areas of fog before noon. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 53," indicating that the early week will mirror the weekend's conditions. For those venturing out at night, "Monday Night: Patchy fog after 9pm. Otherwise, partly cloudy, with a low around 40," suggests the evenings will maintain that same mildness characteristic of early winter in Sacramento. The area continues to be spared from any significant wind, calming the chill that comes with the nightly fog.

High temperatures will climb slightly, reaching near 57 degrees on Wednesday, and reaching up to 60 by Thursday. "Thursday: Patchy fog. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 60," concludes the forecast, hinting at a gradual warming trend as the new week progresses.
