A soft blanket of mist clings to Sacramento’s streets this morning, wrapping headlights in halos and slowing the morning commute. Drivers may notice visibility dropping to just a few hundred feet in low-lying areas before sunshine gradually burns through the haze.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy fog will linger through midmorning, giving way to sunny skies and mild temperatures near 59°F. Winds from the north will pick up slightly, gusting up to 18 mph, before easing by evening. Calm, dry air dominates through Friday, setting up several days of clear, bright conditions perfect for early December errands or late fall yard cleanup.
While most of California braces for wetter Pacific systems next week, the Central Valley stays dry — but not without hazard. Fog formation during the late night and early morning hours could return through Thursday, especially near I-5, Highway 99, and the Sacramento River Delta. Motorists should drive cautiously and allow extra time for travel, particularly before 10 a.m.
By Friday and Saturday, temperatures rebound into the mid- to upper-50s, flirting with 60°F under mostly sunny skies. Calm weather continues into Sunday and Monday, making it an ideal stretch for outdoor markets, holiday decorating, or early Christmas shopping without rain delays.
Plan for fog, drive with caution, and enjoy a golden, sunny start to December.
