Hey Sacramento, hope you’ve been enjoying the warm, dry weather—because things are about to change! A series of storm systems is rolling in, bringing steady rain, gusty winds, and even the chance of thunderstorms through Friday, March 15.
If you’ve been putting off getting that umbrella out of the closet, now’s the time—this isn’t just a passing drizzle. It’s going to get wet, windy, and much colder as the week goes on.
Here’s what to expect so you can plan ahead and stay dry!
Tuesday, March 12 – Your Last Chance for Sunshine
Tuesday will be your best (and last) chance to enjoy some sunshine before the stormy weather takes over.
- High: 69°F (21°C) | Low: 50°F (10°C)
- A mix of sun and clouds, with mild temperatures.
- Light breeze, but overall, a really nice day.
What to do? Get outside while you can—because after this, you’ll be dodging raindrops all week!
Wednesday, March 13 – Here Comes the Rain!
Wednesday morning starts off dry, but don’t be fooled—the rain is coming, and once it starts, it won’t let up for a while.
- High: 55°F (13°C) | Low: 42°F (5°C)
- Light rain in the morning, turning heavier by the afternoon.
- Winds pick up, with gusts around 30 mph.
What to expect:
✔ Slower commutes—wet roads mean longer travel times.
✔ Blustery winds—bring in those patio chairs!
✔ Much cooler temps—goodbye t-shirt weather, hello jackets!
The takeaway? It’s going to be a soggy day, so keep an umbrella handy and expect a chilly, wet commute.
Thursday, March 14 – Stormy and Unsettled
Thursday keeps the wet and chilly trend going, but adds the chance for thunderstorms.
- High: 57°F (14°C) | Low: 41°F (5°C)
- On and off showers all day.
- A few thunderstorms could roll through in the afternoon.
If you hear thunder, remember: “When thunder roars, go indoors!”
What this means for you: Even if it’s not raining every second, expect damp roads, chilly air, and a possible surprise thunderstorm.
Friday, March 15 – More Rain & Even Colder!
Friday brings one last round of rain and the coldest temperatures of the week.
- High: 50°F (10°C) | Low: 44°F (6°C)
