BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A change in the weather will be ushered-in later today as showers and thunderstorms move into Central California.

While afternoon temperatures will continue to reach into the 80s today, widespread precipitation and cooler conditions will be noted on Saturday.

Ahead of the change in the weather, winds will show a increase in speeds across Central California as the influence of the upper low (disturbance) nears the California Coast. A wind advisory has been issued as peak wind gusts could reach 55 mph near sunset today. The upper low is expected to make landfall on Saturday as unsettled weather returns to Central California.

Lingering light precipitation expected to continue to Sunday as the upper low slowly crosses California. After the weekend storm, Central California returns to dry and warm for much of the week.
