Rain was widespread across Kern on Wednesday, but in general it was fairly light.<\/p>\n
Bakersfield had rain for several hours, but had picked up less than a tenth of an inch by 5 PM.<\/p>\n
Stronger, scattered showers will begin to move through Kern Wednesday night, with an even heavier band of rain expect early on New Year’s Day.<\/p>\n
That heavier band could have some thunderstorms embedded in it, too.<\/p>\n
With additional rain expected, a Flood Watch remains in effect for our mountain and desert areas through Thursday.<\/p>\n
Flooding of low-lying areas, mud and rock slides, and washed out roads will be possible.<\/p>\n
Clearing is expected Thursday afternoon, and Friday looks mostly dry, but more rain looks likely as we head into the weekend.<\/p>\n
