Clear skies and a cool start are greeting Sacramento on Saturday, with temperatures around 59 degrees early and a sunny afternoon expected to top out near 74. After the city's run of near-100-degree days, the weekend is finally behaving like October.
Saturday Brings Sun And A Breeze
Saturday temperatures are expected to reach the mid-to-upper 70s. South-southwest winds of 9 to 13 mph may gust to 24 mph, so patio umbrellas and loose decorations could have a mildly annoying day.
The broader region could see a changing, potentially showery and gusty pattern Sunday.
Gusts Matter More Outside The City
A Wind Advisory is in effect from 11 p.m. Friday through 7 a.m. Saturday for the Delta and nearby valley locations, where gusts could reach 45 mph. Sacramento's forecast calls for breezy conditions but lower gusts, according to the National Weather Service.
Cooler Monday, Then Warmth Returns
Monday will be sunny and cooler, with a high near 70 and an overnight low around 48. Sunshine returns Tuesday near 74, with highs returning to the low-to-mid 80s Wednesday and Thursday.
Rain chances remain essentially zero in Sacramento through the end of the workweek. The broader region will see a more unsettled pattern in the Sierra, where the weather service expects rain and the season's first measurable mountain snow at higher elevations Sunday night into Monday.
