Rain Arrives By Late Morning
Showers could begin earlier, but the steadiest rain is expected from late morning through the afternoon. The National Weather Service is forecasting roughly a quarter- to half-inch of rain across the San Joaquin Valley, with winds at TAF sites mainly from the east and generally up to 10 knots, according to the National Weather Service.
Rain is expected to continue into Thursday. Wednesday night’s low should be near 56 degrees, and there is a 10% to 20% chance of thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday.
Thursday Stays Unsettled Before The Weekend Clears
Thursday remains unsettled, with precipitation continuing and a 10% to 20% chance of thunderstorms across the forecast area. The high should reach about 68 degrees, and rain chances remain near 70% before tapering Thursday night.
After that, Fresno gets a quick weather rebound: Friday should be mostly sunny near 72 degrees, followed by a sunny 75-degree Saturday and weekend highs in the 70s. The forecast stays mostly dry into Monday and Tuesday, with highs mainly in the 70s.
