Sacramento will see highs in the upper 80s Wednesday, with the brief warmup peaking Thursday before weekend cooling settles in.

The National Weather Service says conditions will dry out Wednesday and Thursday, with another warm afternoon expected Thursday.

Thursday Brings The Week’s Warmest Afternoon

Thursday’s high is expected to reach near 91. The weather service discussion flags areas of Moderate HeatRisk in the southern Sacramento Valley and northern San Joaquin Valley, so outdoor plans may feel noticeably hotter during the afternoon.

Weekend Cooling Moves In

Cooler weather is expected over the weekend. A system could bring increased moisture and unsettled weather during that period.

Unsettled Weather Possible Into Early Next Week

A system could bring increased moisture and unsettled weather over the weekend and into early next week.

For Sacramento residents, the best bet is to handle strenuous outdoor activity earlier in the day Thursday, keep water nearby and take advantage of the cooler mornings.
