Sacramento, CA – Heavy rain and patchy fog are expected to blanket Sacramento starting Saturday, creating potentially hazardous travel conditions along I-5 and other major roadways. Motorists should prepare for reduced visibility and wet roads as storms roll through the area, particularly in the early morning and evening hours.
According to the National Weather Service, rain will begin late Friday night and persist into Saturday. Precipitation is likely to be heaviest in the afternoon, with new rainfall amounts of up to an inch possible. Winds from the southeast could gust up to 25 mph, further complicating travel for Thanksgiving week commuters.
Drivers are urged to allow extra time for travel and to reduce speeds on rain-slicked highways. Patchy fog could limit visibility on Saturday morning and late evening. By Sunday, the rain is expected to ease slightly, with a 60% chance of lingering showers.
Looking ahead, Thanksgiving week in Sacramento will remain unsettled, with showers forecast through Tuesday and temperatures hovering between the mid-40s at night and high-50s during the day. Travel on Wednesday may bring some relief, as clearer skies and a high near 56 are predicted. Thanksgiving Day itself looks promising, with mostly sunny conditions and a high near 54.
Residents should monitor weather updates and take precautions when driving. Make sure windshield wipers are in working order and avoid driving through standing water.
