Fresno and the Central Valley could see temperatures rise as high as 90 degrees by early next week \u2014 unseasonably warm weather that may signal a hotter spring and summer this year.<\/p>\n
JP Kalb, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service\u2019s Hanford office, said the warmer weather is the result of a large pressure system off the California coast and is thwarting rainy weather.<\/p>\n
Kalb said temperatures have been above average so far this year \u2014 specifically about five degrees warmer than usual for March.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s still early, but Kalb said the three-month outlook appears to show higher-than-normal temperatures for the Valley. He said this forecast can change.<\/p>\n
This warm spring and summer that\u2019s projected follows a rainier-than-usual autumn<\/a> that was rife with fog and low-lying clouds. Just a few weeks ago, a series of on-and-off winter storms<\/a> helped replenish snowpack as well.<\/p>\n Last summer was abnormally mild<\/a> \u2014 a welcome relief after the Central Valley nearly saw high temperatures<\/a> that nearly broke records<\/a> for the area in 2022 and 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fresno and the Central Valley could see temperatures rise as high as 90 degrees by early next week…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":212309,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[512,112,114,113,36898,19],"class_list":["post-212308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-central-valley","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news","tag-temperature","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212308\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
