Sacramento is starting Wednesday with clear skies and a crisp 57 degrees, but the brief cooldown will not last long. The city is headed for temperatures in the low to mid-80s before a steady warmup pushes weekend temperatures close to 90.
The National Weather Service forecast specifies southerly winds with gusts of 15 to 25 knots at times through Wednesday in its aviation section. Rain is not in the city forecast, and the National Weather Service discussion issued September 15 lists no watches, warnings, or advisories.
A Breezy, Dry Afternoon
Temperatures should climb through the 60s during the morning and reach the low to mid-80s by midafternoon. Wind details after sunset are not specified, while Wednesday night stays partly cloudy with a low near 57 degrees.
Thursday will remain mild, with another high in the low to mid-80s. The broader region could see isolated showers or thunderstorms near Shasta County and the southern Cascades, but Sacramento itself is expected to stay dry.
Weekend Heat Makes A Comeback
The forecast turns noticeably warmer Friday, when sunny skies and light winds accompany a high near 88 degrees. Saturday could reach 90, followed by a slightly cooler 86 on Sunday.
Temperatures are expected to rebound beyond Thursday. That is a clear shift from the midweek cooldown covered in Hoodline's earlier Sacramento forecast, when dry north winds and fire-weather concerns were the bigger story.
No Rain In Sacramento's Seven-Day Outlook
For city residents, the practical takeaway is simple: plan for dry conditions, sunny afternoons and cool-to-mild mornings. The best window for outdoor plans may be Wednesday through Thursday, before the weekend heat starts turning the thermostat back up.
