Sacramento woke to a cloudy, cool start Friday, with temperatures around 61 degrees early and a forecast high near 77. The gray skies are not sticking around: sunshine takes over, and the weekend stays comfortable before a late-summer warmup pushes highs into the upper 80s next week.
Sunny Friday Gives Way To Mild Weekend
Friday afternoon should be sunny, with a high near 77 and southwest winds around 6 mph. Saturday and Sunday remain dry and sunny, topping out near 81, while overnight lows settle into the mid-to-upper 50s—pleasant weather for outdoor plans without Sacramento's usual oven setting.
The latest outlook from the National Weather Service keeps conditions calm through the weekend, with no watches or warnings listed for the area. Winds should generally stay light, running below 10 mph during the daytime.
Labor Day Starts The Warmup
Temperatures climb to about 85 on Labor Day, then reach near 88 Tuesday under mostly sunny skies. A slight chance of light rain arrives Tuesday night and lingers into Wednesday, but Wednesday still looks mostly sunny with a high near 87 and rain chances below 20%.
Thursday stays warm, with a high near 89 and a slight chance of rain after 5 p.m. The drier Friday-through-weekend setup is a notable refinement from Hoodline's earlier forecast, which had emphasized shower chances before the holiday weekend.
