Bakersfield is starting Saturday with clear skies and temperatures in the mid-50s, but the San Joaquin Valley is headed for another warm, dry day. The thermometer should climb to about 80 degrees this afternoon before easing into a mostly clear night near 53.
Fog Threat Stays Regional Saturday Morning
The National Weather Service says there is a 30% to 50% chance of visibility dropping below one-quarter mile in parts of the Central Valley, especially from Delano toward rural areas south of Fresno. The advisory area includes communities such as Hanford, Visalia, Selma and Kingsburg.
Sunny, Mild Weather Through Tuesday
Sunday should reach 77 degrees, followed by highs near 76 Monday and 74 Tuesday. Overnight lows will stay in the low to mid-50s, with mostly clear skies and light winds generally between 0 and 5 mph.
Warmer Again Before A Late-Week Rain Chance
Temperatures rebound to 81 degrees Wednesday and 83 Thursday before cooling to 75 Friday. Rain chances remain minimal until Friday, when the San Joaquin Valley has a 20% to 30% chance of at least one-tenth of an inch of rain.
Wood-Burning Limits Remain In Place
Kern County's Saturday fireplace and wood-stove status is “No Burning Unless Registered.” Burning is also discouraged in the greater Frazier Park area and in Sequoia National Park and Forest.
