Sacramento, CA – Sacramento will sizzle Friday as temperatures climb to near 96°F, marking the hottest day of the week before cooler air moves in for the weekend. The spike in heat will hit during peak afternoon hours, making hydration and limited outdoor activity especially important.
According to the National Weather Service, Friday’s heat will be paired with calm morning winds, shifting west-southwest around 6 mph by afternoon. This high-pressure stretch will keep skies clear, offering no natural shade, which can accelerate heat-related illness for those outdoors too long. The Sacramento Metro area, along with nearby suburbs like Elk Grove and Carmichael, will feel the brunt of the heat, while rural areas may see slightly lower highs.
Saturday’s high will dip to a more manageable 91°F, followed by 87°F on Sunday. Overnight lows in the 60s will bring some relief for early morning and evening plans. With this trend, the weekend becomes a better choice for outdoor dining, farmers markets, and late-summer events.
Warnings for heat-related risks remain in effect through Friday night, with cooler weather expected to settle in Sunday. Residents should stay tuned for any advisories if the heat pattern returns next week.
