Despite chilly weekend mornings, the high temperature in Fresno is expected to touch 90 Saturday and then fall to 70 by Wednesday. The topsy-turvy weather and winds can be a calling card of mid-October.<\/p>\n
After a brief taste of cooler October temperatures, the Central Valley is in for one more warm stretch this weekend before a stronger cooldown moves into Northern California next week.<\/p>\n
Across the Central Valley from Sacramento to Fresno, skies will remain mostly clear this weekend as winds continue to flow out of the northeast offshore.<\/p>\n
It’s a great weekend to visit the ocean. Even the mountains, despite winds Friday gusting above 30 mph, won’t be half bad. Saturday especially looks nice for late-season hiking as winds begin to slow across the Sierra and with highs in the 60s and 70s.<\/p>\n
Sunday’s temperatures will taper ahead of the real cooldown next week. Highs will dip a few degrees into the low to mid-80s between Sacramento, Modesto and Fresno, with some gusty afternoon winds out of the south at 20 mph. This change in direction will mark the end of warm temps along the coast, so make those plans for Saturday if you can.<\/p>\n
Blast of cooler fall weather arrives next week<\/p>\n
Say goodbye to high temperatures in the 80s and 90s. Next week a massive trough of cooler low pressure air is set to dip down as early as Tuesday from the Gulf of Alaska, ushering in temps well below normal and a chance of showers and mountain snow.<\/p>\n
By Wednesday, high temps across the Central Valley are set for the low 70s or even 60s as clouds move overhead and the occasional raindrop falls. If it hasn’t felt like autumn yet, it certainly will later next week. These cooler temps are expected to linger well into the following weekend, and could remain cool close to Halloween.<\/p>\n
The cold low’s arrival will be marked by scattered showers, most on the lighter side, across the Golden State. Rainfall in the Central Valley will be light at best, but up to an inch will be possible or areas along the coast as the low pushes cold moist air over land. Most showers are likely between Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite chilly weekend mornings, the high temperature in Fresno is expected to touch 90 Saturday and then fall…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499654,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[112,114,113],"class_list":["post-499653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499653","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=499653"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499653\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
