California’s capital is starting the day under thick gray clouds and mild, damp air, with temperatures near 57 degrees at Sacramento Executive Airport. A few light showers are still possible early, leaving slick pavement along I-5 and Highway 50.
According to the National Weather Service in Sacramento, a 30 percent chance of light rain lingers through the morning hours before skies gradually improve. Rain amounts remain light, under a tenth of an inch. Clouds hold firm, but steadier sunshine develops later today as highs climb to about 67 degrees.
Conditions calm tonight with mostly cloudy skies and lows near 52 degrees. No freeze concerns for the valley, but damp ground could keep patches of fog in low-lying areas before sunrise. Drivers should watch visibility along the American River corridor.
Thursday delivers a noticeable Spring Tease. Partly sunny skies push highs near 70 degrees. Light north winds develop by late morning, keeping the air comfortable. Thursday night stays partly cloudy with lows again in the lower 50s.
Friday looks even warmer. Highs reach around 73 degrees under partly sunny skies. Outdoor plans should benefit from stable, dry weather. Saturday holds near 70 degrees with filtered sunshine before slight rain chances return late Sunday.
Early next week trends milder and brighter. Highs rise into the upper 60s to near 70 by Monday and Tuesday. The 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across interior Northern California as March approaches.
After a gray start, brighter days are ahead. Are you noticing clearing skies in your neighborhood yet?
