AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
220 PM PST THU FEB 17 2011

.SYNOPSIS...UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE REGION
AS ADDITIONAL STORM SYSTEMS ARE SLATED TO IMPACT THE REGION INTO
NEXT WEEK. HEAVY MOUNTAIN SNOW AND VALLEY RAIN ARE POSSIBLE AT
TIMES. GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY INTO EARLY EVENING, AND A HIGH WIND WATCH IS IN
EFFECT FOR LATE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING FOR THE GRAPEVINE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...WV/IR INDICATING A VIGOROUS UPPER PACIFIC SHORTWAVE
PUSHING INTO THE NORTH BAY AREA WITH AN AREA OF WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION ACROSS NORCAL. RADAR COMPOSITES INDICATE THE
PRECIPITATION HAS BEEN GRAZING NORTHERN MERCED AND MARIPOSA
COUNTIES BUT THE REMAINDER OUR CWFA HAS REMAINED DRY TODAY...AND
IN THE CASE OF TULARE AND KERN COUNTIES...MOSTLY SUNNY. THE MAIN
CONCERN FOR OUR AREA HAS ACTUALLY BEEN THE SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD
OF THE INCOMING TROUGH. WINDS HAVE BEEN GUSTING BETWEEN 35 AND 40
MPH ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AND ALSO IN THE
MERCED AREA AND THE WIND ADVISORY ISSUED EARLIER FOR THE WEST SIDE
OF THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY FOR TODAY HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE
THE EAST CENTRAL PORTION OF THE VALLEY. THE LACK OF PRECIPITATION
TODAY AND ANTICIPATED DELAY OF THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE
AREAS SOUTH OF FRESNO COUNTY UNTIL LATE TONIGHT OR FRIDAY...HAS
JUSTIFIED THE CANCELLATION OF THE WINTER STORM WARNING THAT HAD
BEEN IN EFFECT FOR THE TULARE AND KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS FOR
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY.

12Z WRF/GFS INDICATE PRECIPITATION WILL PUSH SLOWLY SOUTHWARD
THROUGH THE NORTHERN HALF OF OUR CWFA TONIGHT AS DEEPER MOISTURE
AND UVM INCREASE SO HAVE LEFT THE WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE
SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA FROM YOSEMITE TO KINGS CANYON FOR TONIGHT
AND FRIDAY IN PLACE. THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
DEEPENING AN UPPER TROUGH OFF THE CA COAST LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY.
AS THE TROUGH DEEPENS...INCREASED OFFSHORE P-GRADS WILL RESULT IN
STRONG DOWNSLOPE WINDS OVER THE FAR SOUTH END OF THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY. A HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN POSTED FOR THIS AREA FOR LATE
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY AS THIS WILL IMPACT TRAVEL OVER I-5. RH PROGS
INDICATING INCREASING MOISTURE SPREADING ACROSS OUR CWFA BY LATE
FRIDAY. A WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA NEVADA AND TEHACHAPI MOUNTAINS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY WITH SNOW LEVELS EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 4000 FEET ON
FRIDAY NIGHT LOWERING TO 3000 TO 3500 FEET BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
HEAVY SNOWFALL IS ANTICIPATED OVER THE MOUNTAINS DURING THIS TIME
FRAME AND TRAVEL OVER THE PASSES IN KERN COUNTY WILL LIKELY BE
ADVERSELY IMPACTED. OVER THE LOWER ELEVATIONS A PERIOD OF LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAINFALL IS EXPECTED OVER A WIDESPREAD AREA. THE MODELS
CONTINUE TO TREND TOWARD LESS INSTABILITY AND CAPE ON SATURDAY
OVER OUR AREA. WHILE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER
THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AND ADJACENT FOOTHILLS AS WELL AS OVER
PORTIONS OF THE KERN COUNTY DESERTS ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON...SEVERE
WEATHER IS UNLIKELY. THE TROUGH IS PROGGED TO CROSS CA SATURDAY
NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY WITH DECREASING SHOWERS DURING THIS TIME
FRAME AS AN UNUSUALLY COLD AIRMASS PUSHES INTO CENTRAL CA. LATER
SHIFTS WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE POTENTIAL WIDESPREAD
FROST IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY ON SATURDAY NIGHT IF SKIES CLEAR
OUT EARLY ENOUGH.

12Z GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO TREND FURTHER OFFSHORE WITH THE NEXT
UPPER LOW PROGGED TO DROP SOUTHWARD OFF THE CA COAST ON WASHINGTON/S
BIRTHDAY. THE ECMWF IS EVEN FURTHER OFFSHORE THAN THE GFS AND
PUSHES A SHORTWAVE RIDGE OVER CENTRAL CA. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A
PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER FOR OUR AREA WITH DAYTIME TEMPERATURES
TRENDING SLIGHTLY WARMER ALTHOUGH STILL BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE
FEBRUARY. THE LOW IS THEN PROGGED TO PUSH INLAND NEAR THE
US/MEXICO BORDER NEXT WEDNESDAY. A COLDER TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO
DROP INTO THE GREAT BASIN NEXT THURSDAY WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
BRING SOME MORE CHILLY TEMPERATURES TO OUR AREA BY THE END OF NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...MVFR CEILINGS WITH LOCAL IFR IN PRECIPITATION WILL
OCCUR ALONG THE WEST SLOPES OF THE SIERRA GENERALLY NORTH OF
FRESNO COUNTY THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY. IFR CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP OVER
THE SIERRA NEVADA AND THE TEHACHAPI MOUNTAINS FRIDAY AFTERNOON
WITH THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR THROUGH 00Z
FRIDAY ALTHOUGH AREAS OF MVFR CEILINGS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE SIERRA
FOOTHILLS FRIDAY AFTERNOON. ADDITIONALLY...WIND GUSTS OF 35 KNOTS
OR GREATER WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN SIDE OF THE
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY UNTIL ABOUT 04Z FRIDAY. STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS
IN EXCESS OF 35 KNOTS CAN BE EXPECTED AT THE SOUTH END OF THE SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY AND OVER THE GRAPEVINE AFTER 08Z FRIDAY.
