AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
906 PM PDT WED MAR 12 2008

.UPDATE...PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ACROSS THE REGION THIS
EVE. THIS DUE TO A WEAK TROF APPROACHING THE OREGON COAST. STRONG
ZONAL FLOW WILL PUNCH INTO THE WEST COAST BEHIND THIS TROF THURS.
140 KT UPPER JET IS THEN FCST TO SAG SOUTH INTO CENTRAL CA THURS
AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING GUSTY WINDS TO THE MTNS AND DESERTS.
HOWEVER IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO SAY IF HIGH WINDS WILL
OCCUR...ESPECIALLY THRU AND BELOW PASSES OF KERN MTNS/DESERTS. 00Z
MODELS NOT QUITE AS STRONG WITH INTERIOR SFC GRADS THURS...AND
KEEP STRONGEST WINDS FOR A MUCH SHORTER DURATION. WILL NOT MAKE
ANY CHANGES TO HIGH WIND WATCH AT THIS TIME. NO CHANGES NEEDED TO
FCSTS THIS EVE AS ALL IS COVERED WELL.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...AN UPPER SHORTWAVE IS ABOUT TO PUSH INTO
THE PAC NW AND NORCAL. SOME UPPER MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
SYSTEM HAS SPILLED OVER INTO CENTRAL CA TODAY PROVIDING OUR AREA
WITH SOME HIGH CLOUDS OTHERWISE THIS HAS BEEN YET ANOTHER DRY AND
MILD DAY. A CHANGE IN THE PATTERN WILL AFFECT OUR ARE OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY CONTINUES TO PUSH INTO NORCAL.
12Z WRF/GFS INDICATING A COLD UPPER TROUGH PUSHING INTO THE PAC NW
ON FRIDAY. STRONG SUBSIDENCE IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT OUR AREA
THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING AS A 140KT 250MB JET
PUSHES SLOWLY SOUTHWARD THROUGH NORCAL. COMBINED WITH INCREASING
ONSHORE P-GRADS...WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PICK UP OVER CENTRAL CA
WITH WARNING CRITERIA LIKELY ALONG RIDGE TOPS AND THROUGH THE
PASSES ACROSS THE KERN MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS WHERE GUSTS TO 80 MPH
WILL BE POSSIBLE. HAVE ALREADY ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THESE
AREAS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...AND A WIND
ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE WEST SIDE OF THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY
THURSDAY NIGHT AS A STRONG COLD FRONT CROSSES OUR AREA. THIS
PATTERN IS UNFAVORABLE FOR PRECIPITATION EXCEPT FOR UPSLOPE
FAVORED AREAS SUCH AS ALONG THE WEST FACING SLOPES OF THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA NEVADA AND THE NORTH FACING SLOPES OF THE WESTERN TEHACHAPI
MOUNTAINS WHERE SOME LIGHT UPSLOPE INDUCED SHOWERS WILL BE
POSSIBLE. THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY IS USUALLY RAIN SHADOWED IN THIS
PATTERN AND RFC QPF PICKS UP ON THIS VERY WELL. AM THUS
EMPHASIZING WINDS MORE THAN PRECIPITATION IN THE SHORT TERM.

MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES AREA EXPECTED ON FRIDAY THAN WE HAVE
BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO RECENTLY AS THE COLD TROUGH BEGINS TO DROP
SOUTHWARD OVER CA. 12Z WRF/GFS INDICATING THE MAIN UPPER LOW CENTER
CROSSING CENTRAL CA ON SATURDAY WHICH WILL DESTABILIZE THE
ATMOSPHERE FOR A PERIOD OF SHOWERS ACROSS OUR AREA MAINLY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WRF INDICATING CAPES OF 200 TO
300 J/K AS WELL AS LI/S BETWEEN -1 AND 1 DEG C SATURDAY AFTERNOON
OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH VALLEY AS WELL AS OVER THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA FOOTHILLS AND KERN MOUNTAINS SO WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THE
POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THIS PERIOD WILL BE THE BEST WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR
PRECIPITATION OVER OUR AREA AS WELL AS PROGS ARE INDICATING DEEP
MOISTURE AND UVM ARE LACKING OVER OUR AREA UNTIL EARLY SATURDAY.
SINCE THIS SYSTEM IS OF MARITIME POLAR ORIGIN AND IS QUITE
COLD...SNOW LEVELS WILL LOWER TO 3000 TO 3500 FEET ON SATURDAY AND
SNOW SHOWERS MAY AFFECT TRAVEL ON ON THE PASSES IN THE KERN
MOUNTAINS.

SOME RESIDUAL SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY AS CENTRAL CA
REMAINS UNDER A COOL AND UNSETTLE CYCLONIC FLOW PATTERN BEHIND THE
DEPARTING UPPER LOW AS IT MOVES EAST OF OUR AREA. THE MAJORITY OF
THE MEDIUM RANGE PROGS AND THEIR ENSEMBLE MEMBERS INDICATE A DRY
UPPER RIDGE BUILDING INTO CA ON MONDAY. THIS RIDGE IS PROGGED TO
FLATTEN SOME ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY FROM THE
PACIFIC STREAMS INTO THE PAC NW. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SOME HIGH
CLOUDS TO STREAM INTO CENTRAL CA NEXT WEEK BUT OTHERWISE MONDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY LOOK TO BE DRY WITH A SLOW WARMING TREND.

&&

.AVIATION...LOCAL MVFR VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS ARE POSSIBLE FROM
FRESNO COUNTY NORTHWARD DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. OTHERWISE...VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR
THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY.
