California starts the morning with crisp sunshine spilling over the Capitol dome and cool pavement slowly warming after sunrise. Temperatures sit at 55 degrees at Sacramento Executive Airport, and the air feels calm and clean after a quiet night.
According to the National Weather Service in Sacramento, highs climb to 67 degrees today as clouds decrease and skies turn mostly sunny. Winds remain light out of the south-southwest at 3 to 8 mph. Roads across I-5 and Highway 50 stay dry, offering smooth travel through the midday hours.
Monday keeps the early March warm spell going. Highs reach 66 degrees with mostly cloudy skies early, then more sun by afternoon. Lows dip into the mid-40s Monday night under mostly clear skies. Tuesday and Wednesday hold steady in the mid to upper 60s with light winds and abundant sunshine.
This is a classic March transition. While parts of the northern tier battle late winter chill, Sacramento leans into spring vibes. By Friday, temperatures approach 70 degrees, with 73 possible by Saturday. That is several degrees above average for early March.
We also gain more daylight now. Nearly 70 extra minutes of evening light arrive this month. Clocks spring forward at 2 a.m. March 8, pushing sunsets later and extending that warm glow after work.
The 6–10 day outlook favors continued above-normal temperatures across Northern California. For now, enjoy the dry stretch and check cooling systems early before the first true heat arrives.

Monday: High 66, mostly cloudy early then gradual clearing.
