California’s capital is under a thick gray sky this morning, with damp pavement and light rain moving across Sacramento. Headlights reflect off I-5 and Highway 50 as showers redevelop through late morning. If you’re commuting, allow extra stopping distance and expect pockets of heavier rain at times.
According to the National Weather Service in Sacramento, rain chances climb to around 90 percent today with highs near 61 degrees. Southeast winds between 8 and 10 mph will keep conditions cool and unsettled. Additional rainfall amounts between a tenth and a quarter inch are possible before steadier showers ease later.
Rain lingers into tonight with temperatures holding near 59 degrees. By Wednesday, showers taper to a slight chance before late morning, and skies gradually brighten. Highs rebound to around 67 degrees as drier air begins to filter into the valley.
Thursday brings partly sunny skies and a high near 68. That warming trend continues into Friday, with highs reaching near 70 under mostly cloudy skies. Subtle Spring Warmth builds into the weekend, though a slight rain chance returns late Saturday.
While freezing temperatures are not expected in downtown Sacramento, cooler rural areas could see damp roadways early in the day. This time of year, quick clearing and cool mornings can still create slick patches on bridges.
Looking ahead, the 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across Northern California. Early next week may trend drier and milder.
