BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK\/KBFX) \u2014 The rainfall totals were generous once again across Kern County from our most recent storm system. Much of Kern County picked up measurable rain, and we can assume that significant amounts fell in-between the rain gauges. However, plenty of gauges did catch substantial totals Saturday and Sunday. A spot near Keen logged 1.50″. Wofford Heights, Stallion Springs and Glennville all came in with more than an inch. The KRV did quite well, with Lake Isabella getting 0.67″. Parts of Tehachapi saw more than half an inch. The South Valley got a good soaking with Wasco receiving exactly 0.50″. Shafter had 0.39″. Arvin came in with 0.29″ and Bakersfield’s official rain gauge at Meadows Field had 0.17″. Many desert communities picked up more than a tenth of an inch.<\/p>\n

It’s that time of year again, when the nights get longer and the temperature gets colder. Add a recent rainfall and voila – dense fog may result. It can be a bit more complicated, but we are on the lookout whenever skies clear and winds are light to nonexistent during the night. The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for a large chunk of the central and south valley from 3 AM until 10 AM Monday. Does this mean everyone within that advisory will experience dense fog? Most likely not. What it does tell us is that conditions are right for the development of areas of dense fog late tonight into early tomorrow morning. As always, it’s a good idea to be aware of this possibility before you head out and about and remember, if you encounter fog, reduce your speed and increase your distance between your car and those in front of you. Also, use low-beams only and use extra-caution while driving and try to be extra-alert.<\/p>\n

Finally, all medium-range models that I saw paint a relatively quiet weather picture for the whole week ahead across our region. The Pacific storm track is expected to ramp up, but these next systems are indicated to miss our area just about entirely. As such, the next 7 days are currently rain-free for Kern County.<\/p>\n

Have a good new week ahead!<\/p>\n
