Sacramento, get ready for a weather rollercoaster this week! We’re kicking things off with some midweek rain, but don’t worry—it won’t last long. By the weekend, we’ll be soaking up the sunshine with highs near 75°F. If you’ve been itching for perfect spring weather, it’s on the way!
Let’s break it all down so you know what to expect.
Midweek Rain: A Quick Soak Before the Sunshine
We don’t get a ton of spring rain here, but Wednesday and Thursday will bring some light showers to the Sacramento area. Here’s what that means for you:
- Expect scattered showers on Wednesday, mostly light to moderate, but enough to make the roads slick and possibly mess with your outdoor plans.
- Temperatures will stay cool, with highs in the low 60s—so you might need a light jacket if you’re heading out.
- The rain won’t last long, and by late Thursday, the clouds will start to clear, making way for warmer days ahead.
Think of it as a quick refresh—just enough to water the plants, wash away the dust, and temporarily clear out some pollen before the weekend warmth kicks in.
Weekend Forecast: Spring at Its Best!
After a few cloudy, drizzly days, Mother Nature is making it up to us with a picture-perfect weekend.
- Friday will start the warm-up, with highs in the upper 60s and some lingering clouds.
- Saturday and Sunday will be absolute springtime perfection, with sunny skies, light breezes, and highs in the mid-70s.
- It’s going to feel like the perfect time to be outside, whether you’re hitting the trails, having brunch on a patio, or just soaking up the sun in your backyard.
So if you’ve been waiting for that ideal hiking, biking, or picnic weather, this is your weekend!
What This Means for You
- Commuters : Wednesday and Thursday morning drives could be a little slick, so take it slow and be careful in low-lying areas where water tends to pool.
- Outdoor lovers : If you were planning a midweek jog, expect a little drizzle, but the weekend will be perfect for all your outdoor adventures.
- Allergy sufferers : The rain will clear out some pollen, but once things dry up and warm back up, pollen counts will likely spike again by Saturday. Be ready with your allergy meds!
