Dry air is expected throughout Kern County

It was another sunny summer day around Kern County today with temperatures reaching 97 degrees, only one degree below the average for this time of year.

Right now, we have a nice southwesterly flow and dry air will continue to push through the region as we head into the weekend. Triple digits are expected to make a return as soon as Sunday, and we’ll see another surge of monsoon moisture by early next week.

There’s a slight chance for some measurable precipitation towards the Kern County Mountains.

Air quality will be unhealthy tomorrow with an AQI of 101.
