Happy Sunday, Kern County. The tail end of January and the first few days of February look like they'll be exciting weather-wise.
For our Valley communities, there is a potential for patchy fog overnight Sunday in Monday morning. If you're heading out the door early Monday, please be safe while traveling through Bakersfield, Arvin and Delano. Drive with caution and do not use high beam headlights.
The patchy fog isn't the only notable weather for Monday. A majority of the county will have temperatures in the low to mid-70s as our warm trend continues. The high pressure system that moved through the state is expected to stick around until Wednesday, keeping our temperatures warmer than average. Bakersfield's high temperature is expected to be 76 degrees. The Mountains will see high temperatures in the low 60s, and the Kern River Valley and Desert communities will have highs in the low-to-mid 70s.
But, once that high pressure moves East, there is another storm system on its heels. By Thursday, rain is expected for essentially all of Kern County. The moisture from this storm has the potential for steady rain across Kern, and as readings become clearer, we'll keep you updated on the expected rainfall.
