Cooler Weather on the Way This Weekend

The National Weather Service is predicting highs in the low 70s with a chance of showers and thunderstorms across the Sacramento region Friday.

Thought summer was here to stay? Not quite.

A cool, breezy weather system is headed into the Sacramento Valley and much of Northern California Friday, according to the National Weather Service.

The chill will last through early Saturday and bring with it a chance of showers and thunderstorms on Friday, with several inches of snow possible in the Sierras. We'll see highs in the low 70s in the Sacramento area Friday—with low 60s in the Sierra foothills—before temperatures climb back into the high 70s on Sunday.

The NWS says the weather changes in the Northern Sierra will be "dramatic," so if you're planning a camping or hiking trip this weekend, be prepared.

Why not down to Grantline and then head back north along the freeway? Plus Kammerer will eventuallyRead More be widened all the way to I-5 and commuters can use that too. Take Grantline to Kammerer to Bruceville.

An overpass and off/on ramps will be built at Whitelock Parkway after the mall is built, whichRead More should take place after the soccer stadium is built, which should take place after the city secures a professional soccer team. Elk Grove better make sure the professional soccer team is a women's team, or else LaWanna Montgomery will be mad.

Thanks for the suggestion. The City is currently studying a new interchange off 99 and Whitelock,Read More and the project is in our General Plan. We’re also updating the Elk Grove Blvd. onramp—currently one of the most outdated on 99 in the region. Work will begin this summer.
