Fresno is starting Tuesday with clear skies and a crisp fall feel, but the week will stay comfortable before temperatures slide into a cooler Halloween weekend. The city should reach about 70 degrees Tuesday, with light northwest winds and no rain in the forecast.
Sunny Skies Hold Through Friday
Wednesday will be nearly identical, with a sunny high near 69 and an overnight low around 48. Thursday turns mostly cloudy but remains mild near 70, while Friday should be mostly sunny with another high around 70, according to the National Weather Service office in Hanford.
Overnight temperatures will generally settle in the upper 40s to low 50s. Some mist or haze may show up around the San Joaquin Valley during the week, but dense fog is considered unlikely, and no watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Fresno.
Halloween Weekend Turns Cooler With Rain Possible
Saturday brings the biggest shift, with precipitation expected to begin around Saturday morning and heavier precipitation progressing through the day.
Sunday should be sunny with a high near 71°F and northwest winds around 9 mph, followed by some afternoon clouds and a high near 71°F Monday.
The timing is a sharper update to the earlier Hoodline forecast, which had pointed to a possible late-week weather change. The Hanford office says a disturbance dropping south from Alaska and a storm developing off the Pacific Northwest coast could bring precipitation beginning around Saturday morning, with heavier precipitation progressing through the day, though exact rainfall totals remain uncertain.
