Sacramento is waking to clear skies and temperatures around 52 degrees Sunday morning, with sunshine pushing the afternoon high near 82. That warm finish is short-lived: Monday drops to 71, and rain chances may arrive late Monday night before continuing Tuesday and into Wednesday. Sunday may be the last easy excuse for summer clothes, but a jacket will soon earn its keep.
Sunny Sunday Gives Way To A Noticeable Cooldown
Sunday stays dry and sunny, with calm winds becoming south-southwest at 5 to 8 mph in the afternoon, followed by a breezier evening. Overnight temperatures fall to around 51, while south winds could gust up to 20 mph. The National Weather Service Sacramento forecast calls for partly sunny skies Monday, a high near 71 and another cool night near 49.
Rain Chances Arrive Tuesday Evening
Tuesday remains partly sunny with a high near 70, with rain chances extending into Tuesday night. Rain chances continue Wednesday, with a high near 72. Thursday brings only a slight rain chance before a sunny Friday near 72.
The timing is a notable update from Hoodline's earlier outlook, which focused mainly on the weekend cooldown and a later rain possibility. The current forecast lists no active watches, warnings or advisories for Sacramento, while the weather service expects returning onshore flow to improve humidity and bring a more fall-like feel next week.
