Friday will turn sunny and warmer in the afternoon, with temperatures expected to reach about 88 degrees, with no rain in the forecast and only light winds.

The National Weather Service forecast shows temperatures climbing through the morning before reaching the mid-80s by late afternoon. Winds should remain light, with weak north-to-east offshore flow, and no watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Sacramento forecast area, according to the National Weather Service.

Saturday Brings A Near-90 Weekend

Saturday looks sunnier and slightly hotter, with a high near 90 and an overnight low around 59. Sunday will ease back to about 86 degrees under mostly sunny skies, making for a dry weekend with warm afternoons and relatively comfortable mornings.

The dry air will become more noticeable as the weekend progresses, with humidity dropping during the afternoon. Outdoor plans should be easiest in the morning or evening, before the sun pushes temperatures toward their daily peak.

Warmth Builds Again Next Week

Monday and Tuesday are expected to remain sunny, with highs near 86 and 88 degrees. The outlook for Wednesday and Thursday is less specific, with no stated overnight lows.

The latest outlook says an upper low may bring onshore flow and slightly cooler temperatures Sunday or early next week, a modest update to the earlier Hoodline forecast that first flagged the return of near-90-degree temperatures.
