AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
900 AM PST SUN MAR 6 2011

.SYNOPSIS...THE FIRST OF TWO SYSTEMS WILL BRING A CHANCE OF RAIN
AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOW SPREADING SOUTH THROUGH THE DAY. A SECOND
SYSTEM EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT AND MONDAY WILL BRING MORE
PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS OVER THE KERN
COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND DESERT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE
REGION FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK KEEPING THE WEATHER DRY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A BAND OF LIGHT WARM FRONTAL PRECIPITATION IS
CURRENTLY PUSHING ACROSS OUR CWFA WITH MERCED AND MARIPOSA
COUNTIES BEING THE MOST SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED. SOME VERY LIGHT
RAINFALL HOWEVER...HAS FALLEN AS FAR SOUTH AS KINGS AND TULARE
COUNTIES WHILE MID LEVEL CLOUDS ARE NOW PUSHING INTO THE KERN
COUNTY DESERTS WHERE A MOSTLY CLOUDY AFTERNOON IS EXPECTED.
TEMPERATURES ARE RUNNING WELL ABOVE YDAY...BUT WITH INCREASING
CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION EXPECT AFTERNOON MAX/S AT MOST
LOCATIONS TO REMAIN BELOW YDAY/S READINGS...MOST SIGNIFICANTLY
OVER MERCED AND MARIPOSA COUNTIES WHICH HAVE RECEIVED THE MOST
PRECIPITATION FROM THE SYSTEM CURRENTLY AFFECTING OUR AREA. THE
CURRENT FORECAST REFLECTS THIS TREND AND AM THEREFORE NOT
PLANNING TO UPDATE THIS MORNING.

GOES HIGH DENSITY WINDS ARE INDICATING A FAST 120+ KT 250 MB JET
AIMED AT CENTRAL CA WHICH THE 12Z WRF/GFS INDICATE WILL PUSH
ACROSS OUR AREA TONIGHT AS AN UPPER TROUGH DROPS INTO NORCAL. THIS
TROUGH IS PROGGED TO DROP INTO THE GREAT BASIN ON MONDAY WHILE AN
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH CENTRAL CA. QPF PROGS ARE
ONLY INDICATING MAINLY LIGHT AMOUNTS ALTHOUGH YOSEMITE PARK MAY
PICK UP 0.50 TO 0.75 INCHES OF RAINFALL BETWEEN 06Z AND 18Z MONDAY
WITH SNOW LEVELS LOWERING TO AROUND 4500 FEET. AM CONSIDERING
ISSUING A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA
NORTH OF KINGS CANYON FOR THIS TIME FRAME WITH THE AFTERNOON
PACKAGE. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN LIGHT AND GENERALLY REMAIN LESS THAN A TENTH
OF AN INCH.

THE OTHER IMPACT THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE WILL BE STRONG SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENTS ON MONDAY WITH THE TROUGH PASSAGE. GUIDANCE
HAS BEEN TRENDING STRONGER WITH P-GRADS AND SUSTAINED WINDS OVER
THE KERN DESERTS ON MONDAY SO WILL LIKELY BE UPGRADING THE HIGH
WIND WATCH CURRENTLY IN EFFECT FOR THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND
DESERTS FOR 12Z MONDAY THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY TO A HIGH WIND WARNING
BY THIS AFTERNOON.

THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN BUILDING AN UPPER RIDGE OVER
CA ON TUESDAY. THIS WILL BRING DRY WEATHER ALONG WITH A WARMING
TREND TO OUR AREA FOR THE MIDDLE PORTION OF NEXT WEEK.
HOWEVER...PROGS ARE NOW PICKING UP ON SOME SHORTWAVE ENERGY
PUSHING ACROSS THE PAC NW WHICH MAY PROVIDE OUR AREA WITH SOME
HIGH CLOUDS AT TIMES. THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE
SHORTWAVE TROUGHS PUSHING ACROSS THE PAC NW AND NORCAL ON THURSDAY
AND SATURDAY...BUT DEEPER MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN WELL TO THE NORTH OUR OUR CWFA WITH BOTH SYSTEMS. OUR ARE
IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN DRY THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH TEMPERATURES
SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS.

&&

.AVIATION...LOOK FOR INCREASED AREAS OF MVFR CONDITIONS AS SHOWERS
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND SPREAD SOUTHWARD THROUGH 12Z
MONDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN WHERE SOME LOCAL
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION WILL BE POSSIBLE. PRECIPITATION SHOULD REMAIN
MOSTLY NORTH OF THE DESERT AREAS THROUGH THE PERIOD AND WILL
DECREASE OVER THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AFTER 12Z. MAINLY VFR
CONDITIONS WILL OTHERWISE PREVAIL ACROSS THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
INTERIOR THROUGH 18Z MONDAY.

.AIR QUALITY ISSUES...NONE
