Sacramento didn't have any 100-degree days in September, but the first two days of October have brought a pair of century mark readings.
The good news: those may be the last 100 degree days for the year because a cooling trend starts today.
Sure, it will still be hot today - about 10 degrees above normal. The National Weather Service is predicting a high of 95 degrees downtown.
But it won't be super heated like the start of the month. And soon, temperatures will be pleasantly fall-like.
Cool nights and pleasant days in the upper 70s are in the forecast after today.
The detailed, 7-day forecast for the Sacramento region from the NWS:
Today: Sunny, with a high near 95. Calm wind becoming southwest around 6 mph in the afternoon.
Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around 56. South wind 8 to 13 mph.
Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 79. South southwest wind 7 to 10 mph.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
