AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
900 AM PDT SAT MAY 7 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
TEMPERATURES WILL BE LOWERING TODAY AND THE FIRST HALF OF THE NEW
WEEK AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE AREA DEVELOPS OVER THE GREAT
BASIN. THIS LOW WILL ALSO  BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO THE
SOUTHERN SIERRA BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO MONDAY.
GUSTY WINDS WILL DEVELOP IN THE TEHACHAPI MOUNTAINS AND EXTEND
INTO THE HIGH DESERTS LATE TONIGHT OR SUNDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...THE MARINE LAYER HAS DEEPENED TO NEAR 3K FEET
OVERNITE. THIS COMBINED WITH DECREASING HEIGHTS AND A WEAK MID
LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROF MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL CA...WILL BRING LOWER
TEMPS TODAY. INTERIOR SFC GRADS HAVE INCREASED TO ABOUT 12 MB/S
SFO-LAS. LOCALLY BREEZY BELOW DESERTS PASSES TODAY...BUT WINDS
WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD LATE TONITE AND/OR SUN AS THE MID
LEVEL FLOW STRENGTHENS FROM THE WEST. CURRENT FCSTS LOOKS GOOD AND
NO MORNING UPDATE NEEDED.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 420 AM PDT SAT MAY 7 2011/

DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER LEVEL APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC IS BRINGING
A CHANGE IN OUR RECENT UNSEASONABLY WARM CONDITIONS. YESTERDAY SAW
SEVERAL DEGREES OF COOLING IN THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AS HIGH PRESSURE WEAKENED OVERHEAD AND
INCREASING ONSHORE FLOW BROUGHT IN SOME COOLER AIR. LITTLE CHANGE
WAS NOTED ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR. MORE
WIDESPREAD AND SIGNIFICANT COOLING WILL NOW BE ON TAP FOR OUR AREA
THROUGH MONDAY AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DROPS SOUTHEAST ACROSS
THE REGION.

TEMPERATURES TODAY OVER MUCH OF THE DISTRICT WILL LOWER TO NEAR OR
SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMO...DECREASING FURTHER TO AS MUCH AS 8-12
DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGES SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THE BEST PART
OF THE MOISTURE AND ENERGY WITH THE SYSTEM WILL REMAIN NORTH AND
EAST OF OUR AREA BUT IT WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS OVER THE
SIERRA ZONES SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS IT MOVES THROUGH.

WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME GUSTY AS SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS
CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND UPPER LEVEL JET ENERGY DROPS INTO THE
AREA. BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING GUSTS COULD REACH WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA IN THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND DESERT AREAS
AND POSSIBLY ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE VALLEY.

A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE NEAR THE SIERRA CREST TUESDAY
ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING SYSTEM...OTHERWISE DRY AND
WARMING CONDITIONS WILL THEN BE IN STORE THROUGH THE END OF NEXT
WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE REBUILDS OVER THE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
INTERIOR THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY. STRONG SURFACE WINDS WITH GUSTS TO
30KTS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS KERN COUNTY AFTER 21Z TODAY.

&&

.AIR QUALITY ISSUES...
NONE.
