California – Damp pavement and light rain are already creating slick roads across Sacramento this morning, with drivers hitting slower speeds along I-5 and I-80 as showers move through the region.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will continue through late morning, with about a 40% chance of rain and totals generally under 0.10 inches, though brief heavier bursts are possible . Winds remain light from the southeast near 5–8 mph, but visibility may dip during passing showers.
Expect wet conditions across downtown Sacramento, Elk Grove, and Roseville through midday. Roads may stay slick, especially on elevated ramps and bridges. Plan extra time and keep headlights on during rain bursts. For now, conditions improve steadily by early afternoon as clouds begin to break.
By Thursday, sunshine returns with a high near 73°F and calmer winds, marking a clear shift toward warmer spring weather. That warming trend accelerates into Friday with highs near 72°F under partly sunny skies.
The bigger story builds into the weekend. Temperatures surge to around 85°F by Saturday, bringing early “summer vibes” across the Sacramento Valley. Meteorologists note this sharp warm-up follows the passing Pacific system now delivering rain.
Looking ahead, a slight cooldown arrives Sunday with highs near 67°F, but dry conditions continue. No severe weather is expected locally, though broader storm systems could spark thunderstorms across the Plains.

Today: High 64°F, scattered showers
