Bakersfield is starting Saturday, October 24, under fog and mist near 57 degrees. The forecast calls for sunny skies and a high of 73, with almost no chance of rain.
Foggy Start, Sunny Saturday
Some reduced visibility is possible during the early morning commute before conditions improve. The National Weather Service Hanford says lowered visibility should ease by about 9 a.m., with otherwise favorable conditions through the day.
Saturday night will be clear, with temperatures dipping to around 53 degrees. Sunday brings the warmest afternoon of the weekend at about 79 degrees, followed by a sunny Monday near 77 before highs settle into the mid-70s Tuesday and Wednesday.
Cooler Weather Arrives Before A Late-Week Rain Chance
The latest outlook trims the weekend warmth slightly from the earlier forecast, which had pointed toward a Sunday high around 81 degrees. Hoodline's previous forecast had highlighted that warmer setup, while the newest forecast shows a steadier cooldown beginning early next week.
The earlier forecast called for highs in the mid-70s Tuesday through Thursday. A broader outlook puts next Friday's precipitation chance at 25%.
No watches or warnings are in effect for the Bakersfield area. For Saturday, the best outdoor window arrives after lowered visibility eases, with mild temperatures and sunshine on tap.
