Sacramento, if you were planning a sunny spring weekend, you might want to adjust your plans—because rain is making a comeback this Sunday! With an 80% chance of showers, it’s going to be a damp, gray kind of day, especially along I-5, where wet roads could slow things down.
But hey, not all bad news, right? If you love a good cozy day inside, this could be the perfect excuse to relax, binge-watch your favorite show, and let the rain do its thing. Here’s what to expect.
When Will It Rain?
Morning: Expect light showers to roll in early. If you have breakfast plans or need to run errands, bring a rain jacket—it’s going to be wet.
Afternoon: The rain continues, with on-and-off showers throughout the day. Nothing too intense, just enough to make sure you can’t forget about it.
Evening: The rain should start winding down, but clouds will stick around, keeping things cool and damp before drying up overnight.
How Cold Will It Get? It won’t be freezing, but it will feel chilly, with highs around 62°F (17°C) and nighttime temps dipping to 50°F (10°C).
Heads Up, Drivers! Wet Roads Could Mean Slower Travel on I-5
If you have to drive Sunday, especially along I-5, be ready for slick roads and reduced visibility. You know how it goes—the first rain after a dry stretch always makes roads extra slippery.
Quick Tips for Driving in the Rain:
Slow down—braking takes longer when the roads are wet.
Use your headlights—it’s easier to see and be seen.
Watch out for puddles—hydroplaning is no joke.
Give extra space—tailgating in the rain is asking for trouble.
