As of Tuesday morning, April 28, 2026, Sacramento woke up to clear skies and a chill in the air. The airport station (KSAC) checked in at about 48°F, with the day on track to warm into the mid-70s under light west-southwest breezes.

Afternoon And Tonight

Tuesday, April 28, 2026 stays sunny, with a high near 75°F and light WSW winds around 1–3 mph. Tonight looks mostly clear, with a low near 51°F.

Mountain showers and a few isolated thunderstorms remain possible through Tuesday evening, mainly over the Sierra and higher foothills, while the valley is expected to stay dry. No watches or warnings are in effect for the Sacramento area, according to NWS Sacramento.

Late Week Warmup

High pressure builds later this week, nudging afternoon highs to about 81°F on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, and into the mid-80s by Thursday and Friday (April 30 and May 1). Winds remain light, so outdoor plans should feel pleasant, just noticeably warmer, and a good excuse to keep water and sunscreen handy if you plan to be out for a while.

For context, Hoodline covered the developing warm spell earlier in April, and this week’s forecast continues that gradual climb in temperatures.
