SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Sacramento residents can expect a hot and sunny Thursday with highs near 90 degrees before cooler fall weather arrives next week. Drivers along I-5 and Highway 99 should prepare for sun glare during the evening commute, with limited relief from breezes out of the southwest.
According to the National Weather Service in Sacramento, Thursday will bring clear skies and light winds, but changes start by late Sunday. A cooler air mass from the Pacific is expected to push inland, raising the chance of showers Monday and Tuesday. The shift could affect morning commutes and outdoor weekend plans, including football games and festivals across the Sacramento Valley.
Friday and Saturday remain warm, with highs near the upper 80s under mostly sunny skies. By Sunday, clouds increase and highs slip into the mid-80s. The bigger change arrives early next week when scattered showers and cooler daytime highs in the lower 80s move into the region.
Travelers should stay alert for slick roads if showers develop during the Monday morning commute. Residents are encouraged to plan ahead for outdoor events, secure patio furniture, and keep an eye on updated advisories.
Clear and dry weather dominates through Saturday, but the developing pattern points toward the season’s first hint of fall conditions.
