AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
950 AM PDT THU OCT 28 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE REGION TODAY BEFORE A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ARRIVES WITH RAIN AND HIGHER ELEVATION SNOW
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AFTERNOON. ANOTHER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BRING DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS SUNDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.UPDATE...
TEMPERATURES RUNNING SEVERAL DEGREES WARMER ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA. THE ONE EXCEPTION IS TOWARDS THE KERN COUNTY DESERT DUE TO A
PERSISTENCE OFFSHORE FLOW. OFFSHORE WINDS OUT OF THE HIGH DESERT
RESULTING IN GUSTY WINDS THROUGH AND BELOW TEHACHAPI MOUNTAIN
PASSES ESPECIALLY THE GRAPEVINE AREA. THINK THE GUSTY WINDS WILL
DIMINISH DURING THE AFTERNOON AS EAST GRADIENTS SHIFT MORE SOUTH.
HIGH CLOUDS PROVIDING FILTERED SUNSHINE TODAY AS SOME SUBTROPICAL
MOISTURE HAS ENTRAINED INTO THE UPPER LOW. WARMEST TEMPERATURES
TODAY TOWARDS THE SOUTH END OF THE SAN JOAQUIN FROM DOWNSLOPING
FLOW OFF THE TEHACHAPIS. NO UPDATE PLANNED.

.DISCUSSION...A DEEP UPPER LOW BETWEEN 130/140W WILL CONT TO MOVE
SE TOWARD THE CENTRAL CA COAST THE NEXT 24 HRS. A RELATIVELY MILD
S-SE FLOW AHEAD OF THE TROF WILL MODERATE TEMPS MORE TODAY. SOME
DOWNSLOPE OFF THE TEHACHAPIS MAY SEND TEMPS INTO THE LOWER 80S IN
THE SOUTH VALLEY TODAY...AND AGAIN FRI. ELSEWHERE...TEMPS WILL
LIKELY BE SEVERAL DEGS ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES.

THE UPPER LOW APPROACHING THE REGION WILL PUSH MOISTURE AND THE
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT THRU FRI NITE. RAIN WILL SPREAD INLAND
FRI...POSSIBLY REACHING THE WEST SIDE OF THE VALLEY LATE FRI
MORNING OR AFTERNOON...THEN ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA FRI EVE.
THERE WILL BE ABOUT A 3-6 HOUR WINDOW OF PRECIP AS THE UPPER TROF
WILL MOVE THRU FAIRLY QUICKLY. HOWEVER THE UPSTREAM KICKER WILL
REACH THE PAC NW SAT AND KEEP SOME SCATTERED LIGHT PRECIP OVER
CENTRAL CA...ESPECIALLY IN THE SRN SIERRA.

AN INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE REGION MAY KICK UP SOME
GUSTY WINDS AT TIMES FRI...ESPECIALLY IN THE SJV JUST AHEAD OF AND
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. GUSTY WEST WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE THRU
AND BELOW PASSES OF THE KERN MTNS/DESERTS LATE FRI AND SAT.

QPF WITH THIS SYSTEM DOESNT LOOK OVERLY IMPRESSIVE DUE TO
ITS FAIRLY RAPID MOVEMENT...AND OROGRAPHIC LIFT OVER THE SIERRA
WILL BE MINIMAL DUE TO THE SOUTHERLY FLOW. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF A
HALF INCH OR SO ARE POSSIBLE IN THE VALLEY FROM FRESNO
NORTH...DROPPING OFF TO A TENTH OR TWO IN THE SOUTH END. UP TO ONE
INCH COULD OCCUR IN THE SRN SIERRA...LESS IN THE TEHACHAPIS. EVEN
A FEW HUNDREDTHS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE HIGH DESERTS.

THE SNOW LEVEL IS FCST TO DROP TO 6-7K LATE FRI NITE. TOTAL
SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED TO BE LESS THAN A FOOT IN THE SRN
SIERRA...AND A WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR FRI NITE AND EARLY SAT MAY
BE NEEDED LATER TODAY OR TONIGHT.

FOR SUNDAY AND INTO MID-WEEK...A STRONG UPPER RIDGE IS FCST TO
BUILD BY THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS...THOUGH SOME WEAKENING IS SEEN
WED OR THURS. THIS...COMBINED WITH A NEUTRAL OR WEAK OFFSHORE
FLOW SHOULD PUSH TEMPS TO ABOVE CLIMO MON AND/OR TUES WITH H5
HEIGHTS INCREASING TO 588+ DM AND FCST H85 TEMPS OF 17-19 DEGS/C.

&&

.AVIATION...
STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS GUSTING TO 35 KNOTS OR GREATER WILL PERSIST
THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE AND AT THE SOUTH END OF THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY
THROUGH TONIGHT. OTHERWISE..VFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS
THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY.
