Light rain is falling across Sacramento early Thursday, with temperatures around 55 degrees and a damp, gray morning ahead. The city is headed for a cool, unsettled day, with rain likely at times and a high near 67. By Friday, the clouds give way to mostly sunny skies, and the weekend looks even cleaner.
Rain Holds Through Thursday Evening
Rain chances are around 60% Thursday. Precipitation is expected to spread across the region Thursday evening and continue into the overnight, while Thursday night dips to around 53 and stays mostly cloudy. The broader Sacramento Valley and foothills could also see isolated thunderstorms, brief heavy rain, lightning, small hail and gusty winds, according to the National Weather Service Sacramento office. No watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed.
Friday Starts The Weather Reset
Friday should be mostly sunny with a high near 75, though northwest winds could increase to 9 mph. Friday night turns clear and chilly, with a low around 46. That makes Friday afternoon the first easy outdoor window after Thursday's wet weather.
Sunny Weekend, Jacket-Friendly Mornings
Saturday and Sunday are forecast to be mostly sunny, with afternoon highs around 73 degrees and overnight lows around 46 to 48. The clearer day-by-day outlook is a substantive update to Hoodline's prior Sacramento forecast, which previewed the unsettled pattern before Thursday's rain arrived.
