Temperatures slowly warmed through May 6th, then the central and southern San Joaquin Valley cooled a few degrees on the 7th as a push of marine air filled the Valley. This pool of marine air rapidly mixed out, and Fresno had a high of 90 degrees on May 9th. Temperatures then leveled off for a couple of days, before the next low-pressure system brought cooling to interior central California on the 12th. This low-pressure trough also brought strong winds to the Kern County desert, with gusts to 47 mph at Edwards AFB during the afternoon of May 12th, and gusts as high as 73 mph at Mojave that evening.
Weak high pressure over the state brought another slow warming trend to the region. Fresno again reached 90 on May 15th, but Bakersfield still had not reached 90 by that point. Things changed abruptly the next day, as the ridge strengthened over the state and temperatures jumped as much as 10 degrees. Bakersfield went from a high of 88 on May 15th to 99 the next day, and topped out at a record-setting 105 degrees on May 17th. Fresno was even warmer, reaching 106, as did Naval Air Station, Lemoore. Castle Airport in Merced County reached 108 degrees, and Coalinga sizzled at 110 degrees.

Precipitation returned in a big way during the latter part of April and early May, with many locations receiving above average precipitation for the month of May. However, the drought from September 2008 to March 2009 was too much to overcome. Combine that with a late freeze in April and flooding rains during late April and early May, and much of the winter wheat crop was a total loss. At best, the wheat crop across Oklahoma was 60% to 80% loss, with several counties reporting 100% loss. Some counties fared better than others, but for the most part, the yield for the year is well below average. Officially, about 70% of the state's crop was rated as poor or very poor, 22% was rated fair, and only 8% was rated good quality.
