If you haven’t reset your sprinkler system schedule yet to add more watering days, this week would be a good time to get on top of that. The National Weather Service in Hanford is forecasting sunny skies and warmer-than-usual temperatures and pretty much zero chance of rain for at least the next seven days.

As of April 1, residents of Fresno and Clovis could start watering their lawns and flowerbeds three days a week — Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for odd-numbered addresses, and Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday for even-numbered addresses.

A high-pressure system parked over the Valley is bringing warmer-than-usual daytime highs to Fresno and the rest of the Valley, National Weather Service meteorologist Dan Harty said Tuesday.

On Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures will be 12 to 15 degrees above normal for this time of year in Fresno, he said.

The thermometer is forecast to climb up to 86 degrees on Thursday in Fresno and then slide back down this weekend into the upper 70s as a system moves onshore, he said.

“There is some small indications that we could potentially around this time next week, Tuesday of next week, maybe see a little weak system moving towards the coast that could bring us some precipitation, mainly over the mountains,” Harty said. “But there’s pretty low confidence in that right now.”

Rainy Season Is Over

As of Tuesday, Fresno was at about 87% of total rainfall for this time of year, but much of that was the result of March storms that brought welcome rain to the Valley and snow to the Sierra, he said.

“It was looking really bleak a couple months ago, back in January. A pretty significant drought was shaping up, but luckily, in the last few weeks, we’ve gotten some good systems and rebounded closer to normal,” he said.

April typically marks the end of the winter rainy season and the start of hotter and drier weather in Fresno, Harty said.

Fresno’s forecasts for this week and weekend: Tuesday, high of 77, overnight low of 53; Wednesday, 82 high, 56 low; Thursday, 86 high, 57 low; Friday, 84 high, 55 low; Saturday, 78 high, 50 low; Sunday, 78 high, 52 low; Monday, a high of 82.
