SACRAMENTO, California – The valley floor is wrapped in stillness this morning. Headlights cut through a soft gray haze, and tree branches blur into the mist as patchy fog drapes much of the Sacramento Valley before sunrise. For drivers along I-5, Highway 99, and I-80, the commute could feel slower and quieter than usual, with visibility dropping below a mile in some rural stretches.
According to the National Weather Service in Sacramento, fog will linger through midmorning before sunshine breaks through. As the fog lifts, temperatures will rise quickly into the low 70s, marking the start of a warm and tranquil November weekend. Winds stay light and variable, and skies will turn crystal clear by afternoon.
Saturday brings near-perfect fall weather — highs in the low 70s, low humidity, and calm air ideal for outdoor plans or early holiday travel prep. Sunday follows suit with even warmer readings, climbing to 75°F, under mostly sunny skies. For those tackling late-season yard work, decorating for Thanksgiving, or heading to Veterans Day events, conditions couldn’t be more cooperative.
By Monday, the pattern holds — sunny and mild — but subtle changes are brewing. Increasing clouds and cooler air could arrive by Wednesday, bringing a chance of showers and the first hint of a mid-November pattern shift across northern California.
For now, the Central Valley enjoys one more quiet stretch of autumn warmth before the next wave of Pacific energy begins to reshape California’s late-fall outlook.
