We&#8217;re staying warm through the weekend, but a big pattern change takes hold next week. <\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s begin with the short term forecast. Temperatures take a slight dip down here in Bakersfield compared to earlier this week, but it&#8217;s a minor change. We have a forecast high of 80 degrees in Bakersfield for Thursday. <\/p>\n<p>Mountain towns will be a comfortable room temperature, with a forecast high of 72. The KRV neighborhoods will be in the low-80s, and the desert stays warm in the upper-80s and low-90s. <\/p>\n<p>Desert neighborhoods will feel some relief from the gusty winds, though. The Wind Advisory along the Mojave Desert Slopes expires at 5 a.m. Thursday, and winds calm down through the afternoon. <\/p>\n<p>Now, a look into next week. We&#8217;re tracking a sharp cooldown and rain chances by next Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>A storm system is set to drop into California by Tuesday and Wednesday. At the very least, it&#8217;s set to cool our temperatures down. As the cool air arrives, there&#8217;s early signs of some rain entering our forecast, too. <\/p>\n<p>Depending on the track of the system, the exact timing will begin to take shape in the coming days. We&#8217;ll keep you posted both on air and online. <\/p>\n<p>Stay in Touch with Us Anytime, Anywhere:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good morning and happy Thursday, Kern County.
