AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
305 AM PST SAT FEB 2 2008

.DISCUSSION...NORTHWEST WINDS OVER THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY HAVE
BANKED CLOUDS ALONG THE VALLEY-FACING SLOPES OF THE SOUTHERN SIERRA
NEVADA AND TEHACHAPI MOUNTAINS...AND LOCALLY INTO THE PASSES. THE
WINDS ARE FUNNELING THROUGH THE TEHACHAPI PASS...EARLIER TRIGGERING
GUSTS TO AROUND 45 KTS NEAR MOJAVE. THESE WINDS WERE LOCALIZED IN
THE REGION IMMEDIATELY BELOW THE TEHACHAPI PASS...AND HAD ISSUED A
SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR THAT AREA FOR THESE GUSTS.

THE APPROACHING WINTER STORM IS ON TRACK TO REACH THE HANFORD
WARNING/FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO FORECAST
THIS TO BE A POTENT SYSTEM...BRINGING HEAVY SNOW TO THE MOUNTAINS
AND STRONG WINDS TO THE REGION. RFC QPF FOR THIS STORM YIELDS 2-3
FEET OF SNOW TO THE SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA NORTH OF KERN COUNTY...
AND AROUND 9 INCHES TO THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS. WILL UPGRADE
THE WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE MOUNTAINS TO A WINTER STORM WARNING
FOR 02Z SUNDAY THROUGH 08Z MONDAY.

THE MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH A VERY COLD AIRMASS PUSHING INTO
THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR WITH THIS STORM. 850-MB TEMPERATURES
OVER YOSEMITE AT 00Z SUNDAY ARE FORECAST BY THE 00Z MODELS TO DROP
TO -1 C...AND THE NEW 06Z NAM-12 IS EVEN COLDER...WITH TEMPERATURES
FALLING TO -3 C. 700-MB TEMPERATURES OVER YOSEMITE AT 00Z SUNDAY ARE

5400 METERS AT 00Z SUNDAY...DROPPING TO 5340 METERS BY 00Z MONDAY.
THESE PARAMETERS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT FORECASTED SNOW
LEVELS...WHICH ARE EXPECTED TO FALL TO INTO THE SIERRA FOOTHILLS
LATE TONIGHT BEFORE LOWERING TO 2500-3000 FEET BY LATE SUNDAY. SNOW
AMOUNTS OF 3-6 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE FOOTHILLS ABOVE
3500 FEET...AND SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE DOWN TO AROUND 2000 FEET IN
THE HEAVIEST SNOW SHOWERS. WILL ISSUE A SNOW ADVISORY FOR THE
FOOTHILLS TO MATCH THE WINTER STORM WARNING.

FOR BOTH FRESNO AND BAKERSFIELD HAS 16 KT SUSTAINED WINDS SUNDAY. IN
THE KERN COUNTY DESERTS...SUSTAINED WINDS ARE FORECAST TO REACH 35
KTS AT EDWARDS AFB BY 21Z SUNDAY...AND 32 KTS AT CHINA LAKE BY 18Z
SUNDAY. ALTHOUGH THE STRONGEST SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ONLY FORECAST
FOR AROUND 6 HOURS DURATION...THE MAIN PROBLEM WILL BE GUSTS WHICH
COULD REACH IN EXCESS OF 55 KTS AT TIMES IN THE DESERTS...AND 30-35
KTS IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY. WILL ISSUE WIND ADVISORIES FOR BOTH
THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY FOR TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
AFTERNOON... AND FOR THE KERN COUNTY DESERTS FOR TONIGHT THROUGH

THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE GREAT BASIN
SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH ONLY RESIDUAL UPSLOPE SHOWERS OVER THE MOUNTAINS.

FLATTEN IT TUESDAY. THE LOW IS FORECAST TO OPEN INTO A TROUGH AS IT
MOVES THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TUESDAY NIGHT AND INTO THE
