Sacramento is starting Tuesday clear and cool, with temperatures around 48 degrees early in the morning before a sunny afternoon reaches about 77. The fall-like chill will give way to a steady warm-up later this week, but dry air and gusty winds will keep outdoor conditions worth watching.
Sunny Tuesday Brings Dry, Gusty Conditions
North-northwest winds will run 6 to 12 mph Tuesday, with gusts reaching up to 23 mph. Afternoon humidity is expected to fall into the teens and low 20s, creating elevated fire-weather concerns in the broader northern Sacramento Valley and nearby mountains, according to the National Weather Service.
No rain is expected in Sacramento Tuesday, and the city has no active watches, warnings or advisories listed in the forecast. Still, residents should use care with outdoor flames, power equipment and anything that could spark near dry grass or brush.
Temperatures Rise Into The 80s
Wednesday will remain sunny with a high near 78 before temperatures jump to around 86 Thursday. Friday and Saturday should stay sunny and warm, with highs near 86 and 87, respectively, continuing the dry pattern outlined in Hoodline's earlier forecast.
Overnight lows will gradually moderate from the upper 40s Tuesday night to the mid-50s by the end of the week. Sunday looks a little cooler but still sunny, with a high near 82 and a low around 53.
Monday High Near 74
Monday is expected to reach a high near 74.
