Hanford, Calif. – Hanford will bake under sunny skies Saturday as temperatures climb near 93 degrees, with little relief until after sunset. Northwest breezes may offer some comfort, but dry, hot afternoons will dominate the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Hanford, Sunday will stay hot with highs around 91 before a gradual cooldown begins Monday. Overnight lows will dip into the low 60s, keeping nights clear and relatively mild across Kings County and the broader San Joaquin Valley.
Drivers along Highway 198 and residents in nearby Lemoore and Riverdale should prepare for bright, hazy afternoons and shifting northwest winds, with gusts reaching 20 mph Monday night. Those winds could stir dust in open fields, reducing visibility at times.
