Cloud cover is expected to increase Monday morning, with a chance of mist or reduced visibility in parts of the Valley. An earlier forecast called for a Monday high near 73 degrees. Winds are expected to increase on Monday, making this a comfortable warmup rather than a late-October scorcher. No rain is expected today.
Monday Warmup Gives Way To A Cooler Week
The latest outlook from the National Weather Service describes a brief warmup, followed by highs around 70 Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday is expected to be partly sunny. Overnight lows will mostly land in the low 50s, so the morning jacket remains useful even as afternoons stay comfortable.
Rain Chances Build Into Halloween Weekend
Favorable chances for precipitation across the region are expected to begin Friday. Precipitation is expected to begin around Saturday morning, with heavier precipitation progressing through Saturday. Rainfall accumulation estimates range from zero to higher totals, and the potential for heavy rainfall remains under evaluation.
A Small Morning Commute Caveat
The forecast discussion flags a limited chance of mist and reduced visibility in parts of the Valley early Monday, especially along Highway 198 between Visalia and Hanford. Mist or reduced visibility remains possible, and no watches, warnings or advisories are posted.
The latest outlook is a meaningful update from Hoodline's Sunday forecast, shifting the more notable rain chances toward Saturday and Sunday while keeping the week cooler than Monday's peak. For Fresno residents, that means a sunny start, a steady fall cooldown and a forecast that may complicate Halloween plans just a bit.
