Bakersfield started Monday with clear skies, temperatures near 49 degrees and a dense fog problem waiting in the Valley. The fog advisory runs through 10 a.m., then sunny and mild weather takes over for most of the week.
Fog Could Complicate The Morning Drive
The National Weather Service says visibility could fall to a quarter-mile or less in dense fog across Bakersfield and surrounding parts of the San Joaquin Valley. Drivers should slow down, use headlights and leave extra space between vehicles while the advisory remains in effect Monday morning.
Sunny, Mild Afternoons Return
Once the fog lifts, Monday should turn sunny with a high near 68 degrees and light west winds. Tuesday will be a little warmer, reaching about 70 degrees, though northwest gusts could approach 20 mph. Wednesday brings a brief cooldown with a sunny high near 66.
Weekend Warmup Builds
The forecast stays dry through the rest of the week, with mostly sunny skies Thursday and a high near 68 degrees. Friday warms to around 71, followed by a sunny Saturday near 75 and Sunday near 78. Overnight lows will generally sit in the low 50s, making the early mornings cool even as afternoons turn comfortably warm.
