After cooler temperatures last week, Sacramento is ready to heat up, according to the National Weather Service.
"We should be warming up to above normal temperatures by mid-week," said Holly Osborne, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Sacramento.
The weather service expects temperatures today in the mid-70s before rising to the low-80s on Sunday.
Osborne cited a high pressure system building over the Pacific Ocean, as the reason for the above normal temperatures.
Here's the seven-day forecast:
Today: Mostly sunny, with a high near 76. Light west northwest wind becoming northwest 5 to 10 mph in the morning.
Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around 56. Northwest wind 5 to 7 mph becoming calm in the evening.
Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 82. Calm wind.
Sunday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 57. South wind 3 to 5 mph.

variable in the morning.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand.

• 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.
