We're warming back up after a short stretch of cooler-than-average weather.

Prior to Monday, Bakersfield had 5 days in a row at or below 95°, with 90° on Friday being the coolest day.

Monday's high was 99°, and triple digits are likely to return this week.

Thankfully, it's looking like Tuesday will likely stay below the century mark, thanks in part to some upper level cloud cover moving in.

By Wednesday the high will be right around 100°, with a high slightly over 100° likely by Thursday.

The rest of Kern will be heating up, too.

Upper 90s are likely in the KRV, with many of our higher mountain towns breaking 90° this week, too.

Desert areas will, as usual, be in the triple digits.
