Sacramento is waking Friday to cloudy skies, calm winds and temperatures around 57 degrees, but the gray start will not last. Patchy clouds should give way to mostly sunny skies. The afternoon high should reach near 75 degrees.

Friday Winds Pick Up

Fog may be possible in the Valley overnight, potentially affecting visibility for early commuters. North winds are expected in the Valley, with gusts up to 35 mph in parts of the northern Sacramento Valley Friday afternoon and evening, according to the National Weather Service.

The broader northern Sacramento Valley could see stronger gusts Friday afternoon and evening, while the city remains on the milder side of the wind pattern. Friday night will turn clear and chilly, with temperatures dropping to around 46 degrees and occasional gusts reaching 21 mph.

Sunny Weekend Looks Like The Easy Outdoor Window

Saturday should be sunny and mild, with a high near 73 and light north winds. Sunday will be mostly sunny, with a high around 73, followed by another sunny day Monday near 73.

The outlook is cooler and more detailed than Hoodline's earlier forecast, which had Friday closer to 75 degrees. Dry weather is expected through most of next week, with highs easing into the upper 60s by Tuesday through Thursday and no watches, warnings or advisories currently posted for Sacramento.
