Sacramento, CA – Locally breezy winds are expected to develop Sunday, Oct. 12, across the northern Sacramento Valley, according to the National Weather Service in Sacramento. The gusty conditions will mainly impact areas along and west of the Interstate 5 corridor.

According to forecasters, wind gusts may reach 25 to 30 miles per hour, especially during the late morning and afternoon hours. The NWS Wind Gust Forecast Map shows the strongest activity between Redding and Willows, with lighter breezes extending south toward Sacramento.

Drivers of high-profile vehicles and those traveling north–south routes are urged to use extra caution, as crosswinds could make travel challenging. The NWS noted that local dust and debris may also briefly reduce visibility in open areas.

No formal wind advisory has been issued as of Saturday evening, but officials say conditions may change depending on how the system develops overnight.
