Sacramento, California – A strong wind advisory is in effect for the Sacramento Valley starting at 8 a.m. Sunday, May 4, lasting until 8 p.m. Monday. North winds between 15 to 30 mph are expected, with gusts reaching up to 55 mph, especially in areas west of I-5. The winds will be most intense in the Carquinez Strait, Delta, and across the Sacramento Valley.
According to the National Weather Service, gusty winds could make travel difficult, particularly for high-profile vehicles. Drivers should remain cautious on roadways such as I-5 and Highway 80, as strong winds could lead to blowing debris and affect visibility. Unsecured objects may be displaced, and tree limbs could fall, potentially leading to power outages.
While gusty winds are the primary concern, Sacramento residents will also see a shift in temperatures as sunny skies dominate the forecast. Temperatures will rise steadily, with highs near 85°F by Monday, continuing into Tuesday, which will see highs around 88°F. It’s important to stay prepared, as the spring-like warmth comes on the heels of today’s wind advisory.
As we look ahead to the week, expect sunny days with mild nights. By mid-week, temperatures will hover in the low 80s, making for ideal spring weather. But don’t let your guard down; weather conditions could shift quickly with sudden gusts continuing into Monday evening. Keep an eye on the weather to stay ahead of any updates or new advisories.
