Fresno will feature postcard-perfect weather over the next week with the daily high temperatures poking into the 70s by Saturday.
The National Weather Service forecast also calls for calm winds and overnight lows in the mid-40s following last week’s heavy rain and winds.
This mild dry February weather will be perfect for hiking, biking, fishing, golfing, and scores of other outdoor activities.
Fresno’s season rainfall stands at 4.73 inches, which is 72% of normal to date. The city’s average annual rainfall is 10.99 inches.
