After a very busy weekend, our weather has finally calmed down Sunday evening.<\/p>\n
Between Thursday night and Sunday Bakersfield picked up 1.46″ of rain.<\/p>\n
1.23″ fell on Saturday alone!<\/p>\n
Parts of Kern saw over 3″ of rain through the weekend, and flooding impacts were widespread, especially on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Now more rain is on the way.<\/p>\n
A storm system will move through Kern County on Monday.<\/p>\n
A heavy band of rain will move into far western Kern Monday morning, with Bakersfield seeing its heaviest rain in the late morning to early afternoon.<\/p>\n
The band of rain will exit by Monday evening, but will be followed by lingering scattered showers off and on into Tuesday.<\/p>\n
It may even be cold enough for a few snowflakes over the passes Monday night!<\/p>\n
No accumulation is expected at pass level, but areas about 5,000 feet could get an inch or two.<\/p>\n
As far as rain totals are concerned 0.33″ to 0.66″ is expected in the Valley, with higher totals of 0.50″ to 1.00″ in the mountains.<\/p>\n
Desert areas will see less, up to 0.33″.<\/p>\n
Gusty winds are also expected early Monday in the south mountains, with gusts blowing into the Valley.<\/p>\n
A Flood Watch is in effect for the Sierra Nevada foothills and the Kern River Valley through 4 PM Monday.<\/p>\n
Additional rain-related impacts are possible, but flooding is not likely to be as widespread or severe as it was over the weekend.<\/p>\n
