Fresno is opening Sunday, October 18, under clear skies and calm conditions, with a warm 88-degree afternoon ahead. The summerlike stretch will not last: a sharp cooldown arrives Monday, followed by rain chances late Tuesday and a wetter Wednesday.
Sunny Sunday Gives Way To A Cooler Monday
Sunday will stay sunny with light, variable winds, making it a strong day for outdoor plans before temperatures peak near 88. Monday will be noticeably cooler but still sunny, with a high near 81 in Hoodline's forecast. The National Weather Service also calls for a cooldown.
Rain Chances Build Tuesday Night
Tuesday, October 20, will be partly sunny with a high near 82. The forecast gives a 30% chance of rain Tuesday, with partly sunny skies expected across the Fresno area.
Wednesday, October 21, could bring significant precipitation to the San Joaquin Valley, with a 70% to 80% chance of at least one-tenth inch through Thursday morning. Light winds should keep the storm from becoming especially blustery.
Fall Weather Hangs Around Through Thursday
Thursday could bring some sun and a shower, with temperatures near 70, followed by a mostly sunny Friday near 70.
The sharper rain timing updates an earlier Hoodline forecast that had already flagged a cooler, wetter turn. For now, Sunday is the warm, dry window; anyone with outdoor plans later in the week may want a backup option beginning Tuesday night.
