Saul Goodman, the fictional character from the hit TV show Breaking Bad, is known for his catchphrase “It’s all good, man.” While he may not be a real meteorologist like Chief Meteorologist Miles Muzio, he would surely appreciate the cooler weather that is filtering into our region. As high pressure weakens and low pressure waves arrive from the northwest, we can expect gradually cooler air with overnight low temperatures slipping into the 50s for outlying areas by Monday. This shift in weather patterns is a welcome relief from the recent heat wave, with temperatures reaching triple digits. However, even as we finish up Heat Wave #4, the evenings are becoming more pleasant with low humidity levels and a nice northwesterly wind.
Next week, there is no significant weather expected, with mild temperatures in the mid-90s for much of the week. This is a stark contrast to last year when Tropical Storm Hilary made a rare appearance in Kern County, bringing over an inch of rain to Bakersfield and up to 5 inches in the mountains and desert. The Perseid meteor shower is also set to peak this weekend, offering skywatchers the chance to see up to 100 meteors per hour originating from the debris field of Comet Swift-Tuttle.
Chief Meteorologist Miles Muzio encourages viewers to share their photos and videos on the Bakersfield Now website, as well as connect with the team on social media. From Chief Meteorologist Miles Muzio on Facebook and Twitter to Weathercaster Aaron Perlman on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, there are plenty of ways to stay updated on the latest weather forecasts and news. Additionally, downloading the free Bakersfield Now news app for iPhone or Android devices ensures that you can stay informed on the go.
In conclusion, as we enjoy the cooler weather and prepare for the Perseid meteor shower, it’s all good, man. Whether you’re a fan of Saul Goodman or a weather enthusiast, there’s something for everyone to appreciate in the upcoming forecast. So grab a blanket, find a dark location, and look skyward for a spectacular show in the night sky.
