A cloudy weekend is in store for Bakersfield; don't forget your umbrella!
This weekend in Bakersfield is expected to bring chilly temperatures and rain. Saturday starts with initial rain showers that will clear up by morning. Temperatures will peak at 58°F before dipping to 42°F at night. The air quality is rated satisfactory, but high tree pollen levels may affect those with allergies. Additionally, a high wind warning is in effect for the Grapevine area until 7 PM. Prepare for changing weather conditions as another storm system may bring more rain on Sunday and Monday.
Hey there, Bakersfield! Grab your jackets and umbrellas because this weekend’s weather is looking quite interesting! The clouds are thick up in the skies early Saturday, so if you’re stepping out, you might want to grab a little rain gear. Rain showers are expected to wrap up very early in the morning, right around 3:45 AM, so take note if you’re an early riser. After that, you can look forward to some partial clearing throughout the day!
As for the temperature, it’s going to be quite chilly for February standards, with a high around 58°F. That’s a far cry from yesterday’s sizzling highs of 84°F, which was a record-breaking temperature for February 27! Just a reminder, the previous record stood at 83°F since 1980, so we really felt that warmth!
On the flip side, once the sun sets, prepare for a cooler night. The thermometer is expected to dip to about 42°F in the evening. If you’re heading out for dinner or catching up with friends, don’t forget your sweaters! Winds will be gentle, blowing from the east at about 5 to 10 mph, making it feel a tad cooler than it actually is.
Good news on the air quality front! It’s currently rated as satisfactory, which means there is little or no risk regarding air pollution. However, heads up for those sensitive to allergens—tree pollen levels are reported to be quite high in the community. So, if you suffer from allergies, make sure to keep those tissues handy!
Additionally, we need to be cautious about health concerns related to the flu. The flu risk in the area is classified as very high, so it might be smart to continue practicing those health guidelines to keep yourself and your loved ones safe and sound. Wash your hands often, and if you’re not feeling well, consider staying home.
If you’re planning to travel or enjoy the great outdoors, listen up! A high wind warning is in effect for the Grapevine until 7 PM. Be careful if you’re driving through that area, especially if you’re in a high-profile vehicle. Gusty winds could also pose a concern here in Bakersfield, with gusts reaching up to 30 mph and even higher in the nearby mountains!
As we glide into Sunday and Monday, remember there’s a chance of more rain as another storm system is set to make its way toward California. Minor rain chances are sprinkled in the forecast, so keep the rainy day accessories close at hand! Temperatures across Kern County are expected to remain warm, reaching a delightful high of about 78°F. It seems like a rollercoaster of temperatures this weekend!
So there you have it, Bakersfield! Whether you are staying cozy inside or braving the outdoors, it promises to be a weather weekend full of surprises. Enjoy the nature around you, but stay prepared for a little bit of change. Until next time, stay warm and dry!
