Sacramento, CA – Thursday’s calm, sunny skies will also usher in a notable heat climb, with highs reaching 93°F before a spike to 98°F on Friday. Afternoon warmth will be paired with light winds, offering less relief as the region edges toward its hottest stretch of the week.

Friday’s heat will be more intense, potentially impacting outdoor workers, afternoon commuters, and anyone planning midday activities.
