Cooler Weather and Chance of Rain Headed for Sacramento, Northern California Region

After another warm day, the long-anticipated cool down is set to begin in earnest on Wednesday, bringing relief to the Sacramento region. The National Weather Service predicts temperatures will return to normal for the rest of the week, with highs struggling to reach 90°F. A delta breeze is expected to kick in this evening, adding to the cooling trend.

By Thursday, temperatures are forecast to drop even further, with westerly flow deepening due to a low-pressure system moving south from the Gulf of Alaska. Friday will see highs in the low 80s, with continued cooling into the weekend.

Starting Saturday, there is a chance of rain as a weak weather system moves through the region. While not expected to bring heavy rain, any moisture will provide relief from the recent heat and aid in fire prevention efforts across Northern California.
