SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Early clouds drift low over the valley this morning, softening the sunrise but hinting at what’s ahead — a bright and comfortable stretch of late-October weather. After a damp weekend across parts of Northern California, residents can look forward to a steady warm-up through midweek, ideal for outdoor cleanup or early Halloween decorating.
According to the National Weather Service in Sacramento, skies will gradually clear by late morning as northwest winds pick up slightly, keeping highs near 70 degrees. Temperatures will dip into the upper 40s Monday night under clear skies, a sign of stable, dry air returning to the region. Drivers on I-5 and Highway 99 may notice a few early fog patches near open fields before full sun returns Tuesday.
By Tuesday and Wednesday, a strong ridge of high pressure builds across interior California, pushing highs into the mid- to upper 70s. Wednesday could approach 79 degrees — unseasonably warm but pleasant, especially after the cool mornings. It’s perfect weather for harvest events, park visits, and those last-minute Halloween yard setups.
Looking ahead to Friday’s trick-or-treat window, Sacramento should stay mild and dry, with sunset temperatures around 68 and a light evening breeze. Costumes with thin layers should be comfortable through early evening.
Early signals point to a chillier start to November as Pacific systems re-strengthen, potentially bringing rain back to the region next week — a gentle reminder that California’s wet season is drawing near.
