The National Weather Service in Sacramento forecasts dry and warm weather, with "Warm weather with areas of Minor HeatRisk in the Valley" expected today. Above-normal temperatures are expected to continue into next week. There is a small chance of light showers or a brief thunderstorm in some northern areas, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Breezy weather is forecast across the region this weekend, with the strongest winds expected on Sunday. North winds may produce gusts exceeding 40 mph, with a 20–50% chance of such gusts occurring. The western Sacramento Valley is the area most likely to experience the highest wind speeds.
However, the expected wind intensity on both Saturday and Sunday has been reduced, as stated by the National Weather Service."Above normal temperatures will continue heading into next week with Minor HeatRisk in the Valley and foothills," according to the National Weather Service. Light showers or thunderstorms are possible over the Sierra Crest by Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon, but confidence in this part of the forecast is low.
VFR conditions are expected at TAF sites over the next 24 hours, with light winds under 12 knots. No advisories, watches, or warnings are currently in effect..
