SACRAMENTO, CA – Warm, sunny skies continue across Northern California this week, but a noticeable cool-down is on the way by Thursday, October 9. Early risers will notice clear, calm weather this morning, with temperatures expected to climb near 87°F before easing later in the week.
According to the National Weather Service, Sacramento residents can expect one more burst of late-season heat before more typical fall weather settles in. Light north winds up to 7 mph will keep the air crisp and visibility clear across the region. Locals planning pumpkin patch visits or outdoor decorating should take advantage of the next two dry, sunny days before breezes pick up midweek.
Wednesday will stay warm, near 80°F, but shifting southwest winds will bring in cooler, more comfortable air by Thursday. Highs will fall to the low 70s as clouds increase slightly — a welcome change for those ready for sweater weather.
By Friday, there’s a small chance of scattered showers mainly after 11 a.m., with highs near 71°F. The weekend forecast turns ideal for fall outings: sunny skies Saturday and Sunday, with highs near 70°F and lows in the low 50s.
Drivers on I-5 and Highway 99 should expect good travel conditions all week, though early Friday rain could briefly slow morning commutes.
