If you’re heading to Q2 Stadium to catch Sacramento Republic FC taking on St. Louis CITY SC this evening, you’re in luck. Kickoff conditions will be mild and mostly cloudy with just a 5% chance of rain. Temperatures will be in the low 70s, so a light jacket or Sacramento Republic FC scarf will keep you comfortable in the stands. Grab your Sacramento Republic FC jersey and Get tickets on SeatGeek to secure your spot for the match.
The National Weather Service notes that while scattered thunderstorms are possible in the higher elevations and Shasta County this weekend, the Sacramento Valley itself will see little to no precipitation today. That’s great news for outdoor plans—whether you’re thinking about heading to American River Parkway for a walk or firing up the grill for an early dinner.
Here’s where the pattern shifts: Sunday night into Monday, a upper-level system moves through the region, and rain chances increase. By Monday morning around 5 AM, there’s a slight 20% chance of light rain, climbing to a 30% chance during the day Monday with temperatures dropping to near 66°F. The National Weather Service forecasters indicate that instability will increase as the system moves through, so keep an eye on conditions if you have outdoor plans scheduled for Monday.
Monday night carries a 33% chance of precipitation as well, so it’s a good idea to wrap up any yard work—like using an oscillating lawn sprinkler for your garden—by Sunday afternoon. If you’ve been meaning to tackle spring maintenance around the house, Sunday is your window before the system arrives.
For dinner tonight, consider firing up an outdoor pizza oven if you have one, or go with a classic grilled meal while conditions are dry. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door. Grab some fresh vegetables and your favorite proteins to make the most of this pleasant evening.
Looking ahead, showers and thunderstorm chances continue early next week for the Valley and foothills, with warming temperatures expected by week’s end. Keep checking the Sacramento weather forecast for updates as the system moves through.
