Sunday is expected to bring sunshine and a high near 66. Northwesterly winds could gust between 15 and 20 mph Sunday afternoon, making the first day of November feel brisker than the thermometer suggests. The brief sunny stretch will not last all week, with rain chances returning Tuesday.
The latest National Weather Service forecast calls for a clear Sunday night with a low near 46, followed by patchy fog Monday morning between 7 and 8 a.m. Monday should be mostly sunny with a high near 65.
Rain Arrives Tuesday
Tuesday brings a 50% chance of rain mainly between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., with a high near 64. The forecast calls for only a slight chance of lingering rain Tuesday night before skies turn partly cloudy, a more defined wet-weather turn than the earlier outlook described by Hoodline.
After that quick system moves through, Sacramento should settle into a much drier pattern. Wednesday is forecast to be sunny with a high near 68, while Thursday has a chance of rain and a high around 64.
Sierra Travel Could Be Slick
A Winter Weather Advisory was in effect from Saturday morning through Sunday morning, October 31–November 1, for Sierra elevations above 5,000 feet. Snow could total up to 8 inches above 7,000 feet, with locally higher totals at the highest peaks, while slick roads and chain controls may affect mountain passes for anyone heading east from the Sacramento area.
