AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
230 PM PDT WED MAR 23 2011

.SYNOPSIS...VALLEY RAIN...WINDS AND MOUNTAIN SNOW THROUGH
THURSDAY...WITH ANOTHER SYSTEM EXPECTED TO PASS OVER THE AREA
DURING THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. SNOW IS EXPECTED ON THE
MOUNTAIN PASSES IN KERN COUNTY...INCLUDING THE GRAPEVINE AND
TEHACHAPI PASSES. THERE WILL BE FLOOD CONCERNS THROUGHOUT THE
DISTRICT...MAINLY BELOW THE 4000 FOOT ELEVATION...DUE TO A
CONTINUING ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN AND ALREADY SATURATED GROUND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LOW POSITIONED
JUST OFF THE NORCAL COAST IS POISED TO CROSS OUR CWFA LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. AHEAD OF THIS COLD FRONT IS A BAND OF LIGHT TO MODERATE
RAINFALL WHICH HAS BEEN AFFECTING THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AND
ADJACENT FOOTHILLS AND PROVIDING MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY
SNOWFALL OVER THE SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA AND TEHACHAPI MOUNTAINS
ABOVE 4500 FEET. THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THOUGH
THIS EVENING WHILE CENTRAL CA REMAINS UNDER THE LFQ OF A
CYCLONICALLY CURVED 130KT 250MB JET MAX. 12Z WRF/GFS INDICATE
CAPES AND LI/S ARE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH OVER THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY
TO MENTION A SLIGHT CHANCE OF POST-FRONTAL THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH
THIS EVENING. A BRIEF BREAK IN THE ACTION IS ANTICIPATED FOR LATE
TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING BEFORE A STRONGER SYSTEM CROSSES
NORCAL THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. RFC QPF PROGS INDICATE THAT
THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING AN ADDITIONAL HALF INCH TO AN INCH OF
RAINFALL TO THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AND 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAINFALL
TO THE SOUTHERN SIERRA FOOTHILLS OVER AN ALREADY SATURATED
GROUND. A FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY...ADJACENT FOOTHILLS AND THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS BELOW
4000 FEET WHERE A POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING OF ROADS AND LOW LYING
AREAS EXITS. A WINTER STORM WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA NEVADA THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS THROUGH LATE
TONIGHT. IN ADDITION...SINCE HEAVY SNOWFALL IS POSSIBLE OVER THE
KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND
THURSDAY NIGHT...A WINTER STORM WATCH HAS BENN POSTED FOR
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 4000 FEET FOR THIS TIME FRAME. SURFACE PROGS
INDICATE P-GRADS ARE EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN AGAIN ON THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AS THE NEXT SYSTEM AFFECTS OUR AREA. LATER SHIFTS WILL
NEED TO MONITOR THIS FOR A POSSIBLE WIND ADVISORY FOR PORTIONS OF
THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY. THERE IS CURRENTLY A WIND ADVISORY IN
EFFECT FOR THE WEST SIDE OF THE VALLEY WHICH RUNS THROUGH 900 PM
PDT THIS EVENING. MESOWEST OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT WINDS HAVE
REMAINED BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT COULD PEAK LATER THIS
AFTERNOON WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. THE PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED TO BECOME SHOWERY ON FRIDAY BEHIND THIS SYSTEM THEN PICK
UP AGAIN ON SATURDAY AS YET ANOTHER MOIST UPPER TROUGH IS PROGGED
TO CROSS NORCAL. THE ACTIVE STORMY PATTERN WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
WELL BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS ACROSS OUR AREA THROUGH SATURDAY.

ENSEMBLE PROGS FOR THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD HAVE COME INTO
EXCELLENT CONSENSUS WITH A DRY UPPER RIDGE BUILDING OVER CA ON
SUNDAY AND MONDAY IN RESPONSE TO AN ANTICIPATED CHANGE IN THE
LONG WAVE PATTERN. THE RIDGE IS THEN PROGGED TO AMPLIFY OVER THE
WESTERN CONUS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE 12Z GFS PICKS
UP ON THIS IDEA WELL WHILE THE GEM HAS BEEN TRENDING IN THIS
DIRECTION. THE 12Z ECMWF BRINGS A STRONG UPPER TROUGH INTO NORCAL
WHICH IS IN CONTRARY TO ENSEMBLE CONSENSUS. HAVE THEREFORE
DISREGARDED THE ECMWF WITH THIS PACKAGE. SUBSEQUENTLY HAVE TRENDED
TEMPERATURES UPWARD BY SEVERAL DEG F SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY IN
THE GRID PACKAGE AND HAVE GONE WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES PREVAILING
THROUGH THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...FREQUENT OBSCURATION OVER THE SIERRA NEVADA AND KERN
COUNTY MOUNTAINS IN CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION. THESE CONDITION WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY. SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY...GENERALLY VFR
CONDITION WILL PREVAIL EXCEPT LOCAL AREAS OF MVFR IN HEAVY RAIN
LOWERING CEILINGS AND REDUCING VISIBILITIES. CHANCE OF EMBEDDED
