Sacramento is starting Saturday with clear skies and temperatures in the upper 50s, but the afternoon will turn sunny and comfortably warm. The high is expected to reach around 80 degrees, giving residents a pleasant break before hotter weather returns Wednesday.
Sunny Saturday, With A Regional Fire-Weather Concern
Saturday's forecast calls for mostly sunny skies and light winds in Sacramento, with temperatures rising through the 70s during the afternoon. The broader Sacramento Valley, foothills and nearby mountains could see gusts up to 20 to 30 mph, while low afternoon humidity may create several hours of elevated fire-weather conditions, according to the National Weather Service. Outdoor plans should be fine in the city, but extra care is warranted around dry grass, brush and other easily ignited material.
Sunday Cooldown Won't Last Long
Sunday will be mostly sunny but cooler, with a high near 75 and an overnight low around 53. The warmup returns Monday with a high near 85, with highs around 90 expected Wednesday, September 30.
Dry Weather Holds Through Next Week
Sunny, dry conditions are expected to continue Wednesday through Friday, with temperatures above normal. The only rain chances in the broader region are focused on parts of the Sierra south of Highway 50 on Monday, while Sacramento itself is expected to remain dry and has no active watches, warnings or advisories.
