Sacramento is waking Saturday to clear skies and a chilly 46 degrees, but the city is headed for a sunny afternoon near 73. The weekend looks like the region's cleanest outdoor window after this week's rain, with mild afternoons, cool nights and only a little wind in town.
Sunny Saturday, Mild Sunday
Saturday will stay sunny with a high near 73 and light north winds. The broader Sacramento Valley could see stronger north winds through Saturday morning, with gusts of 25 to 35 mph in some western valley locations, so high-profile vehicles and loose outdoor items may need extra attention.
Saturday night will be clear and chilly, with temperatures dropping to around 48. Sunday brings another mostly sunny day with a high near 73 and light winds, making it the warmer half of the weekend.
Dry Through Midweek, Rain Chances Return Late
The updated outlook is more specific than Friday's forecast, showing a mostly dry run from Monday through Wednesday. Highs should reach about 73 Monday, 69 Tuesday and 68 Wednesday, while overnight lows settle mostly in the mid-to-upper 40s.
Thursday's high should be in the upper 60s, but rain chances rise slightly late that night and continue into Friday, when Sacramento could see a high near 64. The National Weather Service says unsettled weather could return around Halloween weekend, though details remain uncertain and no watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed.
