Nice during the day Thursday before rain and snow chances move in overnight

Posted

Happy Thursday, Kern County. For most of the day, we're tracking calm and mild conditions. Into the late evening and overnight, rain chances, snow possibilities and gusty winds increase as a storm system passes through our region.

Rain is possible after 8:00 p.m. Thursday and into the morning Friday, and a few scattered showers could linger into the daytime Friday. Rain accumulation could be up to a tenth of an inch in the Valley, and up to a half inch in the foothills. Snow is possible in our mountain region overnight Thursday into the early morning Friday, but little accumulation is expected. Pine Mountain Club could get up to 2 inches of snow, whereas Tehachapi is only expected to receive up to an inch.

Winds will also increase throughout the day and into Friday for our desert region. Gusts up to 55 mph are possible in Mojave. If traveling through the area, keep both hands on the steering wheel and be safe.
