Sacramento saw clear skies and temperatures around 63 degrees Monday morning, but the mild start is only a brief truce: the city is headed for a sunny high near 100 on Tuesday. A Heat Advisory remains in effect through 10 p.m. Friday as hot, dry conditions settle over the capital region.
Heat Continues Through Friday
Temperatures are forecast to reach about 100 degrees Tuesday. Winds should be light and variable, according to the National Weather Service Sacramento office.
Heat Lingers Through Friday
Wednesday will remain sunny and hot with a high near 98, followed by another 100-degree afternoon Thursday, while upper-90s and low-100s temperatures continue through Friday. Overnight lows in the low to mid-60s will offer limited relief, while the broader Sacramento region faces widespread Moderate HeatRisk and pockets of Major HeatRisk.
Weekend Brings A Noticeable Cooldown
The forecast points to a cooling trend over the weekend. Unsettled weather is possible, with some scenarios bringing breezy to gusty winds late Saturday into Sunday.
Plan Outdoor Time Around The Heat
For anyone working or exercising outside, early morning and evening will be the safer windows through Friday. Drink plenty of water, take breaks in air conditioning or shade, avoid leaving children and pets in parked vehicles, and check on older adults, neighbors and anyone without reliable cooling.
The extended advisory is a significant update from Monday's Hoodline forecast, which had the advisory ending earlier in the week. The latest outlook keeps Sacramento in the heat through Friday before the weekend cooldown arrives.
