AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
332 AM PDT WED JUN 29 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG LOW PRESSURE AREA ALOFT WILL BRING
SCATTERED  SHOWERS TO THE AREA TODAY...MAINLY NORTH OF KERN
COUNTY...ALONG WITH SOME GUSTY WINDS IN THE DESERTS. THIS LOW
WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA THIS EVENING AND BRING AN END TO THE
SHOWERS. STRONG WARMING WILL OCCUR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AND
OVER THE 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS. EARLY
MONSOON MOISTURE WILL ARRIVE SUNDAY OR MONDAY...BRINGING SOME
MOUNTAIN AND DESERT THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
THE UPPER LOW IS CENTERED JUST WEST OF THE BAY AREA EARLY THIS
MORNING. THE FRONT AHEAD OF THE TROF AXIS WAS MAKING SLOW PROGRESS
ACROSS THE SJV AS ONE VORT LOBE HAS MOVED OFF TO THE NNE AND
ANOTHER APPROACHES WITH THE MAIN LOW. THE LOW WILL BE RELATIVELY
SLOW TO MOVE INLAND UNTIL EARLY AFTERNOON. THIS COULD COMPLICATE
TEMPS QUITE A BIT TODAY AS THE CLOUD SHIELD MAY LINGER OVER THE
REGION LONG ENOUGH TO HOLD TEMPS DOWN FROM FCST. LOWERED PREV
TEMPS JUST A BIT...BUT WOULD NOT BE AT ALL SURPRISED IF A FEW
VALLEY LOCALES DIDNT GET MUCH PAST 70. BREEZY TO LOCALLY WINDY
ACROSS THE KERN DESERTS THIS AFTN AND EVE AND ISSUED LOW END WIND
ADVISORY THAT AREA.

THE UPPER LOW WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA BEFORE EVENING...PUTTING
AN END TO SHOWERS AND DECREASING WINDS IN THE MTNS/DESERTS. FOR
THURS AND THE REST OF THE WEEK A SPRAWLING STRONG UPPER RIDGE WILL
EXPAND WEST FROM THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY. THIS WILL BRING A
STRONG WARMING TREND...ESP FRI AND THROUGH THE JULY 4TH WEEKEND.
TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT WILL RETURN TO THE SJV...LOWER FOOTHILLS...AND
DESERTS...CONTINUING INTO AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

OF INTEREST FOR THE LATER PARTS OF THIS FCST...IS T.S. ARLENE
WHICH FORMED LAST EVENING IN THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO. MODELS
ARE SIMILAR IN BRINGING THE REMNANTS OF ARLENE ACROSS NRN MEXICO
IN THE FORM OF AN EASTERLY WAVE/INVERTED TROF OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS. BY NEXT MON OR TUES...THIS MOISTURE IS FCST TO AT
LEAST REACH SOCAL THEN SPREAD NW INTO THE SIERRA...WITH THE
INVERTED TROF POSSIBLY REACHING CENTRAL CA WED. THERE IS A SMALL
CHANCE OF MONSOON-TYPE MOUNTAIN TSTMS AS EARLY AS SUN AFTERNOON
WITH INCREASING CHANCES MON AND INTO MID-WEEK. IF THE EURO
PROJECTION AND TIMING OF THE WAVE IS NEAR CORRECT...IT WILL BECOME
INCREASINGLY HUMID ACROSS CENTRAL CA AND MAYBE...JUST MAYBE...A
STRAY TSTM OR TWO EVEN IN THE VALLEY.

&&

.AVIATION...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT
MUCH OF THE AREA TODAY. EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS...ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS AND LOCAL MVFR CONDITIONS...NORTH OF KERN COUNTY
THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY. CONVECTIVE STORM SHOWERS AND AREAS OF
