You can expect more of the cool temperatures and light rain that Fresno had Sunday.

Another storm system is expected to produce rain in Fresno and snow in the Sierra beginning Tuesday night and ending Friday morning.

After a weekend warm-up, another storm system could hit Fresno with a chance of more rain through mid-March, said the National Weather Service in Hanford.

Sunday’s showers and afternoon thunderstorm added .19 inches of rain to the gauge at Fresno Yosemite International Airport, the weather service said.

Fresno’s seasonal rain total now stands at 4.89 inches, which is 65.7% of normal to date.

The Forecast

It will be mostly sunny on Tuesday with a high of about 63 degrees. There is a 30% chance of rain after 10 p.m.

NWS is forecasting a 90% chance of rain on Wednesday, followed by a 40% chance on Thursday into Friday morning.

After a sunny Saturday, the clouds will return sometime Sunday, producing a 30% chance of rain. Monday’s forecast calls for a 70% chance of precipitation with up to one-half inch falling.

70% of Americans Believe in Climate Change: Poll

About 7 in 10 U.S. adults believe climate change is occurring, and they are much more likely to think it has had or will have a major impact on them than those who say climate change isn’t happening.

That’s among the key findings from  a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

In addition, about 8 in 10 U.S. adults say they’ve experienced extreme weather in recent years, the poll found.

Midwesterners are most likely to feel the brunt of the cold weather, with about 7 in 10 adults who live in the Midwest experiencing severe cold in the past five years, compared with about half of residents of the South and the Northeast and about one-third of those in the West, the survey indicated.
