Good morning and happy Friday, Kern County. Enjoy this weekend’s forecast before a big warm up next week. <\/p>\n
Temperatures stay steadily above average this weekend. Bakersfield will be right around 80 degrees Friday through Sunday. Our average temperature for mid-March is 70, for context. <\/p>\n
Winds are set to pick up in east Kern County on Saturday afternoon. Mountain and desert neighborhoods will notice gusty winds, especially near Mojave. <\/p>\n
By Monday, a strong area of high pressure builds into the region. This will send much warmer air our way, and we have a chance for record-breaking March heat. <\/p>\n
Bakersfield will be right around 90 degrees on Monday. The hottest March day on record in Bakersfield is 94 degrees. By Tuesday and Wednesday, we have a chance to tie or break that monthly record. <\/p>\n
County-wide, we expect temperatures in the 80s and 90s. Mountain neighborhoods will be in the mid-80s by Tuesday, and the KRV and desert towns will likely be in the 90s next week. <\/p>\n
Take steps now to keep yourselves hydrated. It is early in the year to be this hot, so take care of yourself. <\/p>\n
