SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Rain showers could make for slick spots on Sacramento’s major roadways, including I-5 and Highway 50, early Friday morning. Drivers should use caution during the commute as wet pavement combines with reduced visibility.

Winds stay light, but damp conditions could slow traffic into downtown. By Friday night, skies will begin to clear with overnight lows dropping into the lower 60s.
Saturday brings brighter skies and warmer air, with sunshine pushing highs into the upper 80s. Calm winds and dry conditions will dominate, giving way to clear skies Saturday night. By Sunday, temperatures rise again, with highs near 89 degrees under full sunshine. The first official fall weekend looks more summer-like, and those heading outdoors should plan for near 90-degree warmth.
Looking into early next week, Sacramento stays dry and hot. Monday could reach 94 degrees, making it the warmest day of the stretch. Only a slight chance of showers returns by Tuesday, but conditions overall remain mostly clear.
