Happy Monday, Kern County. Many of you are likely off for the holiday to honor Memorial Day, and if you have any plans to get outside, it's a great day for it.

Temperatures across Kern for Memorial Day are right on track for seasonal average! Bakersfield will be in the mid-80s, KRV nearing 80 degrees, high 60s in the mountains, and upper-80s for desert neighborhoods.

Only thing to watch out for on this Monday holiday is gusty desert winds. The Mojave Desert Slopes is under a wind advisory through 11 pm with gusts up to 50 mph possible.

Through the week, temperatures warm steadily. We're keeping an eye on a strong area of high pressure that builds in Thursday through Sunday. By Friday and Saturday, expect the return of triple digit heat.
