Bakersfield is starting Wednesday under mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-50s, but the chill will not stick around for long. The high is expected to reach about 68 degrees before a gradual warmup takes over the rest of the week. The forecast shows no rain until Wednesday, November 11.
Cool Wednesday Gives Way To Clearer Skies
The National Weather Service forecast calls for mostly sunny conditions Wednesday afternoon, with light west-northwest winds up to 5 mph and a low near 52 Wednesday night. Thursday should look similar, with a high around 69 and mostly sunny skies.
Some San Joaquin Valley locations remain vulnerable to morning fog, and the broader forecast package includes a dense fog advisory through 10 a.m. Wednesday. Bakersfield's local forecast, however, points toward improving visibility and calmer conditions later in the day; drivers should still use extra caution wherever fog develops.
Weekend Warmup Brings Near-80-Degree Days
Friday climbs to about 73 degrees, followed by a sunny Saturday with a high near 79. Sunday and Monday stay warm at roughly 78 degrees before temperatures ease back to around 75 Tuesday, with mostly clear to partly cloudy nights and little chance of rain.
The shift from this week's cooler start to a mild weekend comes after an earlier Hoodline forecast called for showers and changing conditions. The latest outlook from the National Weather Service points to no rain until Wednesday, November 11, making the weekend look especially favorable for outdoor plans.
