Happy Wednesday, Kern County. A storm system with a significant amount of moisture brings heavy rain to Northern California on Wednesday. Parts of NorCal have flood alerts in effect through the day.
As this storm progresses into the central valley, the rainfall becomes much more scattered. Essentially, it loses steam as it moves, and by the time it reaches Kern, the rain chances fall to nearly zero. A stray light shower or two is possible late Wednesday through early Thursday, but again, widespread rain is not expected.
Our main impacts will be gusty winds and cooler temperatures. A wind advisory is active along the Mojave Desert Slopes through Thursday morning. Sustained winds between 25-35 mph and gusts up to 50 mph are possible in the desert, so travel with caution and be alert for any blowing objects or sudden strong gusts.
Cooler temperatures are expected Thursday, once we're behind that cold front. Afternoon highs drop to the upper 60s in Bakersfield on Thursday, 50s in the mountains, and 60s and 70s for the rest of Kern.
