Sacramento, CA – A wind advisory is in effect for Sacramento and surrounding areas until 10 a.m. Sunday, with gusts reaching up to 55 mph in some locations. The advisory highlights potential hazards such as falling tree limbs and power outages, making preparation crucial.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the strongest winds are expected today, primarily impacting the Sacramento Valley, foothills, and portions of western Plumas County. Sustained winds of 25 to 30 mph, with localized gusts between 45 to 55 mph, could create hazardous conditions, especially for high-profile vehicles on exposed roadways.

Residents are urged to secure loose outdoor objects, such as patio furniture, and exercise caution while driving. The winds may also exacerbate wildfire risks in dry areas, though recent rainfall provides some mitigation.

Monday continues the trend of clear skies but will see widespread frost early, with highs near 58°F and lows around 33°F. Frosty mornings are expected through midweek.
