| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Temperatures warmed to near normal by October 22nd as another upper-level ridge built into California. By the 26th, high temperatures in the central and southern San Joaquin Valley warmed into the lower to mid 80s in the warm sector ahead of a dry cold front. This front brought a combination of unseasonable cold air and gusty winds to the region. Bakersfield had a high temperature of 83 degrees on the 26th; the next day, the high only reached 63 degrees after a morning low of 55. High temperature falls of 14-21 degrees were common throughout the central and southern San Joaquin Valley. In the Kern County deserts, wind gusts reached 75 mph in the Indian Wells Canyon, 72 mph at Rosamond, and 70 mph at Edwards AFB. In the central and southern San Joaquin Valley, gusts to 50 mph were reported in several locations. As with the previous high wind event, trees and utility lines were downed, and areas of blowing dust formed, some with near-zero visibility. Interstate 5 and highways 119 and 43 were both closed on the 27th due to dust storms and near zero visibility. ||As the cold airmass settled over the San Joaquin Valley, low temperatures in the coldest Valley locations fell to around 30-32 degrees during the morning of October 29th. Weak high pressure returned to California on the 30th, with temperatures warming to slightly below normal on the 30th, and to near to slightly above normal on the last day of the month.||The impact of the remnants of Super-Typhoon Melor, and the effects of rain shadowing|on the south end of the San Joaquin Valley were well noted during the month of October. |
