Sacramento, California – Temperatures across Northern California will gradually rise this weekend, prompting residents to brace for warmer afternoons before cooler weather arrives by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service Sacramento, daytime highs in cities like Redding, Marysville, and Chico will hover in the upper 90s, peaking near 100 degrees in Redding by Saturday afternoon. The warming trend will maintain seasonable temperatures across the region until a significant cooldown begins early next week.
Strong west-southwest winds will develop starting Sunday, with gusts up to 29 mph anticipated in Modesto and 27 mph in Vacaville. The breezier conditions may impact travel on highways like Interstate 5 and Highway 99, especially for high-profile vehicles.
Officials recommend residents monitor weather conditions closely and remain cautious while driving during periods of gusty winds. Early next week, temperatures will dip below normal, bringing relief from the weekend warmth.
Stay prepared by regularly checking updates from local emergency management agencies and ensuring your devices are charged. Cooler temperatures and periodic breezes will persist through midweek, with additional weather advisories possible as conditions evolve.
