Sacramento is in for a slight break from the intense heat this weekend, with temperatures expected to ease slightly, though they will remain above normal for early September. Highs across the Central Valley could still approach 100°F through Monday, according to the National Weather Service. Overnight lows will offer some relief, while humidity remains low, especially in the lower elevations and mountains.

Skies will stay mostly clear, with some mid and high clouds north of Sacramento, while the marine layer remains shallow. A more noticeable cooling trend is expected by Tuesday, as a stronger weather system moves in from the Gulf of Alaska, bringing a chance of showers midweek.
