We had a warm start to the week with Bakersfield hitting 83 degrees on Monday. <\/p>\n<p>A low-pressure system in the Pacific Northwest opens the door for cooler air to flow into the region Tuesday, so temperatures will briefly cool down. <\/p>\n<p>Bakersfield has a forecast high of 73 for Tuesday. Mountains will be in the low-60s and the KRV will be right around 70. Desert towns will be the warmest spots of Kern with highs in the upper-70s, though the introduction of cooler air will cause winds to pick up. <\/p>\n<p>A Wind Advisory is active along the Mojave Desert Slopes from 11 a.m. Tuesday through 5 a.m. Wednesday. Gusts up to 50 mph are possible near Mojave, so drive with caution. <\/p>\n<p>This will be a short lived &#8220;cool&#8221; down. High pressure builds back in by Thursday, and it stays in control of our West Coast weather through next week. Temperatures will likely be the warmest we&#8217;ve felt so far this year. <\/p>\n<p>Bakersfield will be in the low-80s this weekend, and there&#8217;s early signs of us warming to the upper-80s by early next week. <\/p>\n<p>Stay in Touch with Us Anytime, Anywhere:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good morning and happy Tuesday, Kern County.
