Sacramento is waking up Thursday to clear skies and a mild start, but the day is headed for a 93-degree high. The forecast keeps the capital region dry through next Wednesday, with a run of low-90s afternoons and overnight lows near 60.

Sunny Thursday Reaches 93 Degrees

Thursday will be mostly sunny, with temperatures climbing from the low 60s early to the low 90s by midafternoon. South winds are expected to stay light at 3 to 7 mph, and the chance of rain is near zero, according to the National Weather Service.

Low 90s Hold Through The Weekend

Friday will be slightly cooler with a high near 91, followed by another 93-degree day Saturday and a 94-degree high Sunday. Nights will remain comfortable by Sacramento summer standards, with lows generally between 59 and 61 degrees and mostly clear or partly cloudy skies.

Warm Afternoons, Mild Early Hours

Thursday’s temperatures are expected to reach about 81 degrees around noon before hitting 90 by midafternoon. Anyone planning outdoor errands or activities will find the coolest conditions early, while shade, water and a slower pace will matter most during the warmest part of the day.

No Local Weather Advisories

The forecast lists no active alerts for Sacramento. The broader regional outlook does note elevated fire weather conditions Friday and Saturday in the Burney Basin and northeast foothills, but the Sacramento forecast itself remains dry, sunny and seasonable through next week.
