Sacramento is waking Friday to clear skies and temperatures in the low 60s, but the afternoon will warm to about 85 degrees. The weekend brings a brief cooldown before warmer weather arrives next week.
Sunny Friday With Light Winds
The National Weather Service Sacramento office forecasts sunny skies Friday, with a high near 85 and mainly west-southwest winds, with periods of breezy to gusty conditions. Rain is not expected in Sacramento, with precipitation chances staying close to zero.
Friday night should remain mostly clear, with temperatures falling to around 55 degrees. The broader interior Northern California region could see stronger winds and low humidity, creating elevated fire-weather concerns outside the city, particularly near dry vegetation.
Cooler Weekend Before Heat Returns
Saturday will be mostly sunny and cooler, with a high near 82. In the northern and central Sacramento Valley, winds are expected to shift north-northeast, with gusts of 20 to 30 mph.
The cooler stretch will be short-lived, however, as temperatures trend warmer Monday onward.
Dry Pattern Stretches Into Next Week
Sunny and dry weather is expected to continue Wednesday and Thursday, with highs near 89 and 88 degrees, respectively. Overnight temperatures should remain relatively comfortable, mostly in the upper 50s.
No watches, warnings, or advisories are posted for Sacramento in the current forecast. Still, the combination of dry conditions, low humidity, and periodic regional wind could make fire safety important for anyone using outdoor flames or spending time near dry grass.
