AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
215 PM PDT TUE APR 10 2007

.DISCUSSION...
MAINLY CLEAR SKIES PREVAIL ACROSS THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR
THIS AFTERNOON...WITH TEMPERATURES DOWN A FEW DEGREES FROM 24 HOURS
EARLIER. THE GOES VISIBLE SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS SOME SNOW-MELT
CUMULUS OVER THE WEST FLANKS OF THE SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA...AS
MOIST AIR DESCENDS FROM THE MELTING SNOWPACK...THEN WARMS AND LIFTS.

 SATELLITE LOOPS SHOW THE LEADING EDGE OF THE OVERRUNNING
HIGH CLOUDS FROM THE APPROACHING STORM NEARING THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA COAST...AND EXPECT INCREASING CLOUDS FROM THE NORTH THIS
EVENING.

THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUES ON TRACK TO REACH THE HANFORD
WARNING/FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH MEASURABLE RAIN
SPREADING AS FAR SOUTH AS THE KERN COUNTY LINE BY LATE AFTERNOON...
AND INTO KERN COUNTY WEDNESDAY EVENING. THE MODELS AND RFC HAS QPF
HAVE THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION FROM FRESNO COUNTY NORTH...WITH 4-6
INCHES OF NEW SNOW POSSIBLE ABOVE 7000 FEET IN THE SOUTHERN SIERRA
NEVADA NEAR YOSEMITE...TAPERING OFF TO 2-4 INCHES ABOVE 7000 FEET IN
THE TULARE COUNTY MOUNTAINS...AND ONLY 1-2 INCHES IN THE KERN COUNTY
MOUNTAINS.

THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS STORM CONTINUES TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
GUSTY WINDS. THE FORECASTED SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS FOR WEDNESDAY
ARE NOT MUCH STRONGER THAN WHAT WAS OBSERVED MONDAY...AND THE MODEL
MOS GUIDANCE FOR CHINA LAKE HAS BACKED DOWN A BIT ON SUSTAINED WIND
SPEEDS. HOWEVER...THE MODELS FORECAST A 700-MB 55+ KT JET MAX TO
MOVE OVER THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS BETWEEN 12-18Z
THURSDAY...SO THERE WILL STILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR WARNING-LEVEL
WINDS LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. WILL PUSH BACK
THE HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS TO
06-19Z THURSDAY...AND ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FROM 13Z WEDNESDAY TO
06Z THURSDAY. WILL ALSO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE HIGH COUNTRY
OF THE SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA FROM 13Z WEDNESDAY TO 19Z THURSDAY FOR
GUSTY WINDS OVER THE CREST.

THERE WILL BE A FEW LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE HIGH COUNTRY
THURSDAY MORNING...THEN DRY WEATHER WILL RETURN TO THE REGION FOR
THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY. ANOTHER UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH IS
FORECAST TO REACH CENTRAL CALIFORNIA SATURDAY. THE MEDIUM-RANGE
MODELS HAVE SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH THIS SYSTEM...BUT THE BEST
CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION APPEARS TO BE SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
SATURDAY NIGHT FROM FRESNO COUNTY NORTH.

MORE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES DEVELOP AMONG THE MEDIUM-RANGE MODELS
FOR THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. THE 12Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF BUILD AN
UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BY MONDAY...WITH 500-MB
HEIGHTS OVER FRESNO CLIMBING TO OVER 5760 METERS ON THE GFS...WITH
THE SLIGHTLY WEAKER AND MORE NORTHERLY ECMWF RAISING 500-MB HEIGHTS
TO OVER THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR TO 5640+ METERS. IN
CONTRAST...THE 06Z DGEX HOLDS THE TROUGH OVER CALIFORNIA THROUGH THE
PERIOD...DEVELOPING A 5570-METER CLOSED LOW OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
AT 500 MB BY 00Z TUESDAY. EXPECT THE SITUATION TO BECOME CLEARER
AFTER THE NEXT FEW MODEL RUNS.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY. LOCAL
MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES CAN BE EXPECTED IN AREAS OF RAIN AND
HIGHER ELEVATION SNOW AFTER 12Z...OBSCURING MOUNTAINS. FOR SPECIFIC
