Temperatures in the valley will drop just in time for Memorial Day weekend as a cold front coming from Northern California brings cooler temperatures to the valley.

Gary Sanger, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Hanford, said temperatures in Bakersfield are expected to drop 10 to 12 degrees Wednesday and Thursday.

Temperatures for the rest of the week are expected to be below normal compared to last year when temperatures were in the upper 90 degrees, Sanger said.

Thursday's high in Bakersfield is expected to be 77 degrees with an overnight low of 52. Temperatures will gradually get warmer moving toward the wekeened, with a high near 80 on Sunday.

For the Tehachapi and Frazier Park areas a wind advisory is in effect until Thursday evening, with gusts up to 35 mph. Temperatures in both areas are expected to be in the high 60s.
