Sacramento’s Weather Is Going Crazy: Storms Today, Summer Heat by Sunday!”

If you thought Sacramento’s weather was settling into a predictable spring pattern, think again. This week, the city is in for a dramatic weather transformation. From thunderstorms and possible hail today to sunny skies and temperatures soaring into the mid-70s by the weekend, Sacramento’s forecast has a little bit of everything.

Stormy Start: Thunderstorms and Hail Possible Today

Monday morning kicked off with overcast skies and temperatures hovering around 51°F (11°C). But as the day progresses, things are expected to get a little more intense. Scattered thunderstorms are rolling in by the afternoon, bringing gusty winds and even the possibility of small hail. If you’re heading out, be prepared for rapidly changing conditions. The high today will only reach 58°F (14°C), and with strong winds in the mix, it’ll feel even chillier. By nighttime, temperatures will drop to 39°F (4°C), making for a cold and stormy evening across the Sacramento region.

Midweek Calm: Sunshine Returns, But It’s Still Cool

Once we get past today’s stormy weather, Sacramento will enter a brief period of calm. Tuesday brings mostly sunny skies with a comfortable high of 63°F (17°C) and a chilly overnight low of 39°F (4°C). Wednesday will see similar conditions, with partly sunny skies and a high of 62°F (16°C), though clouds may roll in later in the day. The cool trend continues into Thursday, with temperatures holding steady in the low 60s. While it won’t be freezing, it’ll still feel crisp, especially in the mornings and evenings.

Weekend Warm-Up: Sacramento Heats Up!

Just as you start getting used to the cool air, Sacramento’s weather will pull another surprise. By Friday, temperatures will begin rising, with a high of 64°F (18°C). Then, over the weekend, a big warm-up is coming. Saturday’s high is expected to reach 69°F (20°C), and by Sunday, the city could hit a shocking 76°F (24°C)! It’s a complete turnaround from the chilly start to the week, making it perfect for outdoor plans.
