Forecast calls for a quiet, rain-free week ahead after weekend soaking across Kern County

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — The rainfall totals were generous once again across Kern County from our most recent storm system. Much of Kern County picked up measurable rain, and we can assume that significant amounts fell in-between the rain gauges. However, plenty of gauges did catch substantial totals Saturday and Sunday. A spot near Keen logged 1.50". Wofford Heights, Stallion Springs and Glennville all came in with more than an inch. The KRV did quite well, with Lake Isabella getting 0.67". Parts of Tehachapi saw more than half an inch. The South Valley got a good soaking with Wasco receiving exactly 0.50". Shafter had 0.39". Arvin came in with 0.29" and Bakersfield's official rain gauge at Meadows Field had 0.17". Many desert communities picked up more than a tenth of an inch.

El Niño may shape Kern County winter weather, but heavy rain not guaranteed

Kern County could see a more active weather pattern this winter as El Niño continues to develop, though forecasters caution that the pattern does not guarantee a wet season. Chief Meteorologist Ilya Neyman said El Niño begins with warmer-than-normal water in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. While that warming takes place thousands of miles away, it can still influence the position of storm tracks and the kind of weather California sees during the winter.
