The National Weather Service in Hanford reports a sunny afternoon in Central California, with temperatures expected to reach the lower 70s by Tuesday. There is a 20 to 80 percent chance that maximum temperatures will exceed 70 degrees today, increasing to 50 to 90 percent from Tuesday through Saturday.
A weather disturbance is predicted to arrive mid-week, bringing high clouds and potentially gusty winds across the region. While wind gusts may reach 40 mph in the Mojave Desert, the likelihood of exceeding this is low, and most areas will experience lighter winds.
Looking ahead, a change in the weather pattern could introduce a 20 to 40 percent chance of precipitation by next Monday, though current projections suggest that Central California will remain dry until then. Overall, expect warmer temperatures and sunny skies in the coming days, with the possibility of rain on the horizon.
