Sacramento is waking up to clear skies and temperatures around 59 degrees Saturday, but the cool start will give way to a sunny afternoon near 91. It is the first hot turn in a dry stretch that will briefly ease Sunday before heating up again next week.
Sunny Saturday Leads Into A Cooler Sunday
The latest outlook from the National Weather Service calls for no rain in Sacramento through the week ahead. Saturday’s north-to-east offshore wind should keep conditions fairly calm.
Saturday night will have a low near 59, while Sunday turns mostly sunny and cooler, topping out near 86 degrees. That is a notable adjustment from the earlier near-90 weekend outlook covered by Hoodline.
Heat Builds Again By Midweek
Monday should reach about 86 degrees, followed by a sunny Tuesday near 88. Temperatures then continue warming through midweek.
Overnight lows will mostly stay in the upper 50s and low 60s, offering some relief after sunset. The forecast shows no watches, warnings or advisories for Sacramento, and Friday is expected to remain dry.
Small Storm Chance Stays In The Sierra
The broader region could see isolated mountain thunderstorms Monday, with the best chance south of Highway 50. Sacramento itself is expected to remain dry, but anyone heading into the Sierra should be prepared for a stray storm, lightning and sudden gusty winds.
For city plans, Saturday morning and Sunday will be the easiest windows for longer outdoor activities. Shade, water and a break from the afternoon sun will become more important as the next round of heat arrives midweek.
