Bakersfield is forecast to have sunny weather Monday and a high in the mid-70s. Winds should stay light, and no watches or warnings are posted. The bigger story is a warm stretch that peaks Thursday before rain returns this weekend.<\/p>\n

Some rural parts of the San Joaquin Valley could still see patchy morning fog or reduced visibility before conditions improve later in the day. The National Weather Service<\/a> says fog chances may increase Tuesday morning, particularly in northern and rural valley areas.<\/p>\n

Warm Temperatures Build Through Thursday<\/p>\n

Tuesday should remain sunny with a high near 74, followed by a warmer Veterans Day Wednesday near 80. Thursday is expected to be the hottest day of the stretch, with sunny skies and a high around 83.<\/p>\n

That warm-up continues the pattern outlined in an earlier Hoodline forecast<\/a>, though the latest outlook now gives Bakersfield a clearer weekend weather shift. Friday should cool into the low to mid-70s while staying partly cloudy, while Saturday is forecast to reach the lower 70s with partly cloudy skies.<\/p>\n

Rain Chances Rise Sunday<\/p>\n

Sunday brings the period’s higher probability of wetting rainfall, with showers likely and the high dropping to about 68 degrees. The forecast gives a 60% chance of rain, with rainfall exceeding a tenth of an inch possible.<\/p>\n

North winds could gust as high as 20 mph Sunday, making for a cooler and blustery finish to the week. Kern County’s air-quality guidance also listed fireplace and wood-stove burning as no burning unless registered for Monday, November 9, a reminder that calm Valley weather can still come with restrictions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bakersfield is forecast to have sunny weather Monday and a high in the mid-70s.
