Bakersfield is forecast to reach 77 on Sunday, with overnight lows in the low to mid-50s. The warmup will stick around for most of the week, giving locals several days of easy outdoor weather before rain chances return.
Sunny 70s Give Way To An 80-Degree Veterans Day
Sunday night should stay mostly clear with a low around 51, followed by another mostly sunny day Monday near 75. Tuesday will be nearly identical, with a high around 74 and light winds, according to the latest outlook from the National Weather Service.
The heat nudges higher Wednesday for Veterans Day, when Bakersfield could reach 80 degrees under sunny skies. Thursday is forecast to reach about 83, with light winds.
This is a notable extension of the warm pattern described in Hoodline’s earlier forecast, which focused on the weekend warmup. The latest forecast now keeps the above-average temperatures going through Thursday before a modest cooldown.
Rain Chances Begin Friday
Friday should turn sunny again with a high near 74 and a 20%–30% chance of rain; probabilities also apply Saturday in the southern region. Saturday should reach around 79 to 80.
The broader regional outlook points to a better chance of wet weather next Sunday, although details remain less certain that far out. For Sunday, the air-quality update also lists fireplace and wood-stove burning as “No Burning Unless Registered” in Kern County.
