May need to wait...
Sod will need tons of water to root in properly. You may be fighting a losing battle considering your climate unless you don't mind insane water bills. If you are going to do it now, get on it ASAP before the hot summer or wait till late summer early fall.
Another option is to get some grass seed that is made for dry areas. I don't know off hand where you might get it but I'm sure some of the better gardening places have it. My backyard is completely shaded and I was almost resigned to just having a mud pit back there. I had tried the generic scotts seed and all the other big brands but nothing worked. Then I found a shade blend at a nursery that required very little light. Now I have grass. The seed was quite expensive compared to the stuff from home depot, but the results were worth it.
