Sacramento, California — This week in Northern California, the skies will be clear and the temperatures will be warm. But on the weekend, it will rain. If you’re along I-80 or Highway 50, this calm stretch will be great for outdoor activities because the highs will be in the mid to upper 70s. Things will change, though, on Saturday, when showers are likely to return to the region.
The National Weather Service says that Wednesday will be mostly sunny, and high temperatures will hit 79°F in the Sacramento Valley. It will be a nice day with light winds from the northwest, great for drivers and people planning events outside. Sunday is a dangerous day to drive because it might rain, making the roads slippery, especially in hilly and foothill areas.
Thursday and Friday will have more sunshine and temperatures in the upper 70s. There will be a breeze, which could make dust fly in country areas. The Sacramento Valley and nearby mountains will have light rain on Saturday and Sunday. It will stay dry until Friday night. People traveling on I-80 should be ready for roads that are less clear and slippier.
On the horizon, it will get a little cooler on Sunday, dropping into the low 70s. Drivers should be careful because bad weather could make it harder to get to work.
