BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — The upper ridge that has been situated off the California coast for the past few days is progged to shift inland today and Friday resulting in a warming trend across our area with slightly above normal readings today and even warmer readings on Friday.

Meanwhile, a large upper low pressure system is progged to drop southeast out of the Gulf of AK on Friday and move into the PAC NW and Norcal by Saturday.

This will result in much cooler temperatures and breezy to windy conditions prevailing across the mountains and deserts over the weekend. It will also bring possible precipitation to the area on Saturday and Saturday night.

Much of the Sierra foothills is progged to pick up between half an inch to an inch of rainfall while 1 to 2 inches of liquid precipitation is expected for the higher Sierra Nevada Saturday and Saturday night.
