AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
234 PM PST THU JAN 14 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH SATURDAY WITH FOG DEVELOPMENT
DURING THE NIGHTS AND MORNINGS OVER THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY.
OTHERWISE A SERIES OF PACIFIC STORMS MAY BRING SIGNIFICANT RAIN AND
HIGHER ELEVATION SNOW DURING MUCH OF NEXT WEEK...BEGINNING AS EARLY
AS SATURDAY NIGHT.
&&
.DISCUSSION...THE FOG AND LOW CLOUDS CLEARED OUT OF MOST OF THE
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY BY ABOUT NOON TODAY...EXCEPT A STUBBORN PATCH
IN THE VERY CENTER OF THE VALLEY AROUND HANFORD AND VISALIA. THIS
PATCH MAY YET DISSIPATE OR AT LEAST SHRINK A BIT MORE THIS
AFTERNOON. HOWEVER WITH THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE REGION...EXPECT
THE FOG AND LOW CLOUDS TO REDEVELOP TONIGHT. THERE IS A STRONG
POSSIBILITY THAT THE DENSE FOG WILL BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO
WARRANT AN ADVISORY...BUT WILL HOLD OFF ON THAT FOR NOW.
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PUSH THE RIDGE EASTWARD FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AS IT APPROACHES THE COAST. MOST OF THE ENERGY WITH THIS
SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTH OF THE CWFA SATURDAY AND IT IS LOOKING DRY
FOR THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR. BUT IT WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD
CLOUD COVER OVER THE REGION LATE FRIDAY WHICH SHOULD HELP TO
PREVENT WIDESPREAD FOG FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING.
MODELS CONTINUE TO BE VERY PERSISTENT IN A BREAKTHROUGH OF THE
SOUTHERN BRANCH OF THE WESTERLIES AND BRINGING A WET PERIOD TO THE
STATE THROUGH MOST OF NEXT WEEK AS A SERIES OF SYSTEMS MOVES
THROUGH THE STATE. THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN THE TIMING AND DETAILS
OF EACH SYSTEM...BUT THE FIRST SYSTEM LOOKS TO ARRIVE LATE SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY...SYSTEM NUMBER 2 LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...
WITH ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS MOVING IN WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. EXCEPT
FOR POSSIBLY THE SOUTHERN SIERRA...THERE SHOULD BE SOME LIMITED
BREAKS IN THE PRECIP BETWEEN EACH SYSTEM BUT PROBABLY NOT MORE
THAN 6-12 HRS.
DEPENDING ON HOW THE EVENTS ACTUALLY UNFOLD...OVER THE 5 DAY
PERIOD FROM SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY WE SHOULD SEE SIGNIFICANT
RAINFALL AMOUNTS...POSSIBLY AS MUCH AS 4-5 INCHES IN THE VALLEY
AND 8-10 INCHES IN THE SIERRA. SNOW LEVELS WILL FLUCTUATE WITH
EACH SYSTEM...BUT SHOULD BE PRIMARILY IN THE 5000 TO 6000 FOOT
RANGE.
&&
.AVIATION...
IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH 04Z
FRIDAY. IFR CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP AFTER 04Z FRIDAY WITH AREAS OF
LIFR/VLIFR IN FOG BETWEEN 09Z AND 21Z FRIDAY. VFR CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR THROUGH 00Z
SATURDAY.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
435 PM PST MON JAN 18 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
THE WET PATTERN HAS ARRIVED WITH A MODERATE AMOUNT OF RAIN IN THE
VALLEY. SEVERAL FEET OF SNOW TO THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE SIERRA
NEVADA CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEK. THERE MAY ALSO BE SOME
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE VALLEY AND FOOTHILLS TODAY AND TONIGHT.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
WINDS IN THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AND THE KERN
COUNTY DESERTS HAVE DIMINISHED BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA...EXCEPT
FOR OCCASIONAL GUSTS. HAVE ALLOWED THE WIND ADVISORY FOR THOSE
AREAS TO EXPIRE. THE HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THE KERN COUNTY
MOUNTAINS HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE WINTER STORM WARNING THAT
BECAME EFFECTIVE AT 00Z TUESDAY /1600 PST MONDAY/.
A STRONG LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED OVER THE CENTRAL SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY AND THE SIERRA FOOTHILLS. A FUNNEL CLOUD WAS
OBSERVED 5 MILES SOUTHWEST OF FRESNO AT 2326Z /1526 PST/...AND
ISOLATED ROTATION WAS OBSERVED ON RADAR. THE FUNNEL CLOUD
DISSIPATED WITHOUT APPROACHING THE GROUND.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 225 PM PST MON JAN 18 2010/
DISCUSSION...
FRONT HAS BLASTED THROUGH THE REGION RATHER QUICKER THAN EXPECTED.
CLEARING HAS BEGUN ACROSS THE VALLEY AND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WINDS WERE QUITE STRONG AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WITH SEVERAL LOCATIONS REPORTING GREATER THAN 35 MPH ACROSS THE
VALLEY WITH SOME REPORTS OF DAMAGE. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WERE AROUND
50 OF AN INCH OVER MOST LOCATIONS.
THE WINTER STORM WARNING HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO WED MORNING WITH THE
NEXT SYSTEM ON ITS WAY. THERE WILL BE A 9 TO 15 HOUR BREAK IN
BETWEEN SYSTEMS AS THE PRECIP WILL START UP AGAIN TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO WED MORNING. QPF WITH THIS SYSTEM IS
NOT AS IMPRESSIVE AS THE SYSTEM THAT JUST WENT THROUGH...HOWEVER
IT WILL BE ENOUGH TO KEEP UP THE WARNING IN THE SIERRA...BUT MAY
BE MARGINAL OVER THE TEHACHAPI MOUNTAINS.
ONCE THAT SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH...THE NEXT ONE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
INTO THE REGION BY LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS IS AN IMPRESSIVE
SYSTEM AND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. THERE
WILL BE ANOTHER BREAK ON THURSDAY AND THEN GET STARTED AGAIN LATE
THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THIS SYSTEM
LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO SPLIT AND MAY NOT BE VERY IMPRESSIVE
ACROSS OUR REGION. CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW IN THE EXTENDED.
