Sacramento is waking to clear skies and temperatures in the mid-50s Monday, but the brief taste of late-summer weather is giving way to a cooler, more unsettled stretch. The afternoon should stay partly sunny with a high near 71 before clouds thicken Monday night and rain chances return Tuesday evening.
Sunny Monday, Chilly Night
Monday will be partly sunny, with a south wind around 9 mph and temperatures easing from the low 70s late in the afternoon. Skies turn mostly cloudy overnight, with temperatures around 51 before Monday morning.
Rain Chances Build Tuesday Evening
Tuesday starts partly sunny with a high near 69, but the forecast calls for a chance of light rain after 5 p.m. The latest outlook from the National Weather Service puts rain chances at 50% Tuesday night and 40% Wednesday, with mostly cloudy skies and mild temperatures near 70.
The timing is a sharper update from Sunday's outlook, which had already flagged a cooler turn and possible rain early this week, according to Hoodline's earlier forecast. Thursday stays partly sunny with a high near 69 and another chance of light rain, but the forecast does not point to a major storm or all-day washout in Sacramento.
Sunny Friday Brings A Brief Reset
Friday looks like the cleanest day of the late-week stretch, with sunny skies and a high near 72. Saturday should remain sunny and dry, while Sunday could bring widespread precipitation with another high near 71.
No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Sacramento forecast area. For local plans, Monday is the easy outdoor day; keep a light jacket and a backup plan handy from Tuesday evening through Thursday.
