BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — After more than a week of 40s, last Friday saw 50 in Bakersfield for the first time in nearly 189 hours! The sun came out across the largest part of the South Valley in quite a long time.
The very next day, another attempt was made at clearing, but it stopped short of the previous day’s coverage. As such, 50 was missed by a degree. Sunday, came in even cooler again, with a high of only 46, and here we had Monday which was a carbon copy – temperature-wise!
So, are we back to where we were last week? Another high is expected to nudge in from the Pacific, while a trough sets up a west to east flow into the Pacific Northwest for another Atmospheric River. Central California will be caught in-between. Could the Tule erode across northern California but still stay across southern parts of the Valley? Looks like more “wait and see as far as the Tule”.
