Fresno starts Tuesday under clear skies at a cool 54 degrees, but this is the last truly crisp morning before a steady warmup takes over. The forecast calls for a sunny 74-degree afternoon, followed by a clear night dropping to around 50.

Sunny Tuesday Opens A Dry Stretch

Tuesday's forecast stays dry. The National Weather Service in Hanford expects no rain Tuesday through Sunday, with no watches, warnings or advisories posted.

Weekend Highs Near 90

Wednesday warms to 79, Thursday reaches 84, and Friday climbs to 88. Saturday and Sunday are forecast to top out near 89, with overnight lows around 55 Saturday and 50 Sunday.

A Cooler Turn Arrives Monday

No rain is expected Sunday, followed by a modest step down to about 81 on Monday.

For Fresno residents, the practical takeaway is a cool start for jackets and warm afternoons by the end of the week. Outdoor plans look dry through the weekend, though anyone heading out later should be ready for a big swing between morning chill and afternoon heat.
