SACRAMENTO, Calif. – This Saturday morning, the Central Valley awakens to a serene and damp atmosphere as moisture clings to lawns and car roofs. Today brings a gentle reminder of late October’s transition with gray skies and occasional sprinkles, creating a refreshing scent of wet pavement before the weather brightens up through the week.
The National Weather Service in Sacramento predicts light showers this morning with a roughly 50 percent chance of precipitation, though any accumulation is expected to be less than a tenth of an inch. Motorists traveling along I-5 and Highway 99 should be cautious of brief slick spots during the morning commute.
As we move into Sunday, the clouds will gradually dissipate, revealing clearer skies and temperatures in the low to mid-60s. This pleasant weather offers a great opportunity for outdoor activities or early Halloween decorating. A warm-up is anticipated for Monday, as sunshine raises temperatures to the upper 60s, with a calm weather pattern expected to persist through Wednesday. The afternoons will become increasingly warm, with Tuesday and Wednesday likely reaching the low to mid-70s—unusually mild for late October.
The forecast for the upcoming week is well-suited for yard cleanup or enjoying final autumn events before the longer evenings of November. Weather models are predicting cooler air will return by next weekend, potentially bringing the first crisp mornings of November along with early fog along the Delta.
For now, Sacramento can enjoy a pleasant stretch of warm and dry weather—an inviting pause before the arrival of the colder months ahead.
