As the city wakes to a blanket of heavy fog, Sacramento residents can expect some respite by the afternoon with a partial sun breakthrough forecasted. The National Weather Service, less poetically, predicts widespread dense fog, mainly before 10 am today, followed by partly sunny skies and highs teetering around a cool 55 degrees. Not a whisper of strong winds today, just a light north-northwest breeze.
Looking ahead to the evening, the fog will be our uninvited guest once again, creeping in "mainly after 1am," according to the National Weather Service. But clouds will hold sway over the firmament, with the mercury dropping to the low 40s. The wind remains indecisive, light and variable as bedtime stories are told.
For the weekend warriors among us, Saturday promises a rejuvenating dose of sunshine with highs cresting to a comfortable 61 degrees. The wind, shifting to the north, might show some muscle, gusting as high as 20 mph.
When night falls on Saturday, it's mostly clear skies upon which dreams will be projected, and a chill in the air as temperatures dip to around 37 degrees. Those north winds, having flexed their might during the day, will ease into a gentle 3 to 7 mph lullaby. The forecast for Sunday and beyond shows a mix of cloud and sun, consistent temperatures hovering in the mid-50s during the day, and reposing in the low 40s by night, as detailed by NWS.
As Sacramento weathers the ebb and flow of fog and sun, inhabitants can look ahead to a steady pattern of partly sunny to mostly clear days, with only slight variations in our highs and lows.
