The afternoon is expected to be sunny and dry, with a high near 78 degrees and west-northwest winds reaching about 5 mph, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/forecast.weather.gov\/MapClick.php?lat=35.3672&amp;lon=-119.0189\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">National Weather Service point forecast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A cooler week follows<\/p>\n<p>Mostly clear conditions are expected Sunday night, with a low near 55. The forecast allows for a smaller area of dense fog around sunrise Monday, especially in the inner Valley between Highway 99 and Interstate 5, where visibility could briefly fall to about a quarter-mile. Monday is forecast to be sunny, with a high near 75 and a low around 50. Highs then settle near 69 Tuesday, 70 Wednesday and 69 Thursday, with overnight lows mostly in the low 50s.<\/p>\n<p>The National Weather Service\u2019s Bakersfield October normals offer a climate baseline for the shift: the normal high and low for Oct. 25 are 76 and 52 degrees, respectively. These normals describe typical conditions, not a prediction of how much rain this particular week will bring.<\/p>\n<p>Late-week rain remains uncertain<\/p>\n<p>Friday is forecast to be mostly sunny, with a high near 65 and a slight chance of light rain after 5 p.m. Saturday is forecast to be partly cloudy, with highs in the mid-60s. The National Weather Service Hanford office had emphasized uncertainty in an earlier, regional discussion issued Oct. 23: for precipitation by the following Friday, it cited a 25% chance of rain across the region at that time. That earlier regional estimate is distinct from the newer Bakersfield-specific outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Fog guidance is precautionary, not a prediction of a crash<\/p>\n<p>The forecast\u2019s possible brief fog is not a report of a current traffic incident.

Separately, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2026-01-31\/highway-99-reopens-after-59-vehicle-pileup-in-central-valley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Los Angeles Times reported<\/a> that after a dense-fog pileup in Tulare County on Jan. 31, 2026, the county advised drivers to avoid travel in dense fog and not rely on automatic headlights. That incident is a separate example, not evidence that hazardous fog or a collision is expected in Bakersfield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bakersfield\u2019s Sunday, Oct. 25, forecast begins with fog and mist before skies clear.
