SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento extended its weather-respite centers as a cold snap settles in around Northern California.
Both the Outreach and Engagement Center on Auburn Boulevard and the North Fifth Street Shelter will be open through Thursday morning from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. due to cold nighttime temperatures.
Very cold wind chill values are expected early this week. Monday morning low temperatures will be near freezing in the valley, but the winds will still be going strong.
The cold temperatures, paired with gusty winds, will cause the "feels like" temperature, or the wind chill value, to drop to near 20 in Sacramento on Monday, and into the teens in some parts of the valley. Tuesday and Wednesday will see wind chill values in the 20s as well.
The Auburn Boulevard center can accommodate up to 50 people and the North Fifth Street shelter lobby can accommodate up to 20. The North Fifth Street center is for adults only and can't accommodate pets.
Sacramento Regional Transit is also providing free rides to and from local weather-respite centers.
