Sacramento, CA – A string of sunny, warm days is ahead for the Sacramento region as temperatures rise into the 80s beginning Sunday, prompting a spring weather alert for dry and breezy conditions. With highs peaking at 85°F on Monday, residents should prepare for increased fire danger and elevated wind gusts along key routes like Interstate 5.
