BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — WARMTH LESSENS MONDAY-TUESDAY. Sunday came in with a high of 91 in Bakersfield, which is considerably higher than the mid-October average of 79. The heat that was a fixture of the region recently will be replaced by a very different weather pattern altogether in the days to come. Monday is still expected to be on the warm side, but South Valley highs should be a handful of degrees cooler than today's, and that downward trend continues even more into Tuesday.

Rain coming this week as cool fall weather arrives in California. What to expect

After another warm weekend, with widespread high temperatures in the 80s, California is set for a real cooldown this week. On Monday, high temperatures won’t climb past the low 70s as a westerly breeze from the Delta carries cooler air inland to Sacramento. The result will be a noticeably more autumnal day than any of late, with passing clouds and a crisp breeze. Further south, that cooler breeze wanes some. Even so, Modesto and Merced will see high temps in the 70s, and Fresno won’t be far behind in the low 80s. This is all thanks a deep region of low pressure moving off the Pacific Northwest over the coming days. On its approach, it forces an onshore breeze that works to cool the Golden State with air off the Pacific Ocean. That same region of low pressure will begin to move even closer on Tuesday, bringing more clouds and cooler overnight lows in the low 50s for Sacramento and the Delta region. From there, the low pressure region will move onshore, bringing occasional scattered showers with it through the end of the week. On and off showers expected Wednesday through Friday These scattered showers are expected to begin early
