California sunshine is breaking over Sacramento this morning, and the early chill is already giving way to a milder, brighter day.
Temperatures sit in the low 40s at sunrise under mostly cloudy skies. By afternoon, partial clearing pushes highs near 67 degrees. Light winds keep conditions comfortable, offering a brief taste of spring warmth across the Valley.
Clouds increase tonight, and a chance of rain develops after midnight. Lows settle near 54 degrees. Rain becomes more widespread Tuesday, with highs near 60 degrees and an 80 percent chance of precipitation. Showers may linger into Tuesday night as temperatures dip to around 55.
Plan for wet pavement during the Tuesday commute. Allow extra time on I-5, Highway 50, and surface streets where brief downpours could reduce visibility.
By Wednesday, rain chances decrease to slight showers early, then skies gradually brighten. Highs rebound to the mid-60s. Wednesday night turns mostly cloudy with lows near 49 degrees.
Thursday brings a return to partly sunny skies and highs near 66. Friday continues mild with highs pushing the upper 60s. No snow or freeze concerns are expected in the Valley, though Sierra snow levels remain elevated with this system.
Looking ahead, the 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures into early next week. That signals more consistent spring vibes building across Northern California.
