AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
1105 AM PDT FRI MAR 30 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
DRY CONDITIONS AND SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
TODAY. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA
SATURDAY...BRINGING VALLEY RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW. CLOUDS WITH A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS COULD LINGER OVER THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY
ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTH VALLEY AND TEHACHAPI AND SIERRA FOOTHILLS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...ALTHOUGH THE TIMING MIGHT NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR THOSE
WITH OUTDOOR PLANS OR TRAVEL PLANS...ANOTHER COLD PACIFIC STORM IS
INDEED ON THE WAY AND ITS IMPACTS WILL BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE CENTRAL
CA INTERIOR THIS WEEKEND. TODAY...HOWEVER...WILL BE A MAGNIFICENT
SPRING DAY EQUIPPED WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND MILD AFTERNOON TEMPS.
ALREADY...TEMPS ARE SEVERAL DEGREES HIGHER COMPARED TO 24 HRS AGO
OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND GENERALLY UP TO A FEW DEGREES HIGHER
ELSEWHERE.

ESSENTIALLY...A WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER
SOUTHERN CA WILL COMBINE WITH A DRY WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT TO BRING US
A FAIRLY WARM DAY TODAY AND A MILDER THAN NORMAL NIGHT TONIGHT WITH
NOTHING MORE THAN OCCASIONAL HIGH CLOUDS.

THE STORM ITSELF IS CURRENTLY SITUATED SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES OFF THE
PAC NW COAST AND IS CUTTING UNDERNEATH THE PARENT LOW CENTERED OVER
THE GULF OF ALASKA THIS MORNING. A PLUME OF FAIRLY HIGH PRECIPITABLE
H2O EXTENDS WELL EAST OF THIS STORM ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND IS
CURRENTLY AIMED AT OREGON AND EXTREME NORTHERN CA. IT APPEARS THAT
SOME OF THIS MOISTURE WILL GET TAPPED INTO THE STORM AS IT APPROACHES
THE NORTHERN CA COAST DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE COLD FRONT
TRAILING FROM THIS SYSTEM SHOULD ARRIVE IN THE NORTHWESTERN PORTION
OF OUR CWA BY MIDDAY TOMORROW THEN MOVE SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE CWA SATURDAY AFTERNOON BUT NOT MAKE INROADS INTO
KERN COUNTY UNTIL EARLY TOMORROW EVENING.  UNLIKE THE LAST SYSTEM...
WILL BE SUPPORTED BY A STRONG 300 MB JET (120+ KTS) WHICH WILL HELP
GENERATE HEAVY PRECIP AND OROGRAPHIC LIFT IN THE SOUTHERN SIERRA
NORTH OF KINGS CANYON TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. THE PRESENCE OF
THIS JET WILL ALSO SUPPORT BRISK WINDS IN THE SJ VLY...PARTICULARLY
IN MERCED COUNTY AND ALONG THE WEST SIDE FROM MIDDAY TOMORROW THROUGH
TOMORROW EVENING. STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO BUFFET THE SIERRA CREST
AS WELL AS THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND DESERT AND WILL LIKELY
PERSIST THROUGH SUNDAY...DURING WHICH TIME THE STORM WILL BE EXITING
INTO THE GREAT BASIN.

THE CNRFC...IN ADDITION TO THE MODELS...HAS NOW RAISED THE QPF WITH
THIS SYSTEM...PARTICULARLY FROM FRESNO COUNTY NORTH. PRECIP TOTALS
WOULD WARRANT WINTER STORM WARNING CRITERIA IN THE SIERRA FROM YNP
TO KINGS CANYON AND WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY CRITERIA IN THE SIERRA
SOUTHWARD TO THE KERN COUNTY LINE. IN KERN COUNTY...IT WAS FELT THAT
THE PRIMARY IMPACT OF THIS STORM WILL BE THE WIND. HENCE...A WIND
ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE LAUNCHED FOR THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND
DESERT FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND TOMORROW NIGHT. WINDS BEHIND THIS
STORM WILL ALSO BE PRETTY GUSTY IN THESE AREAS SUNDAY...EVEN ALONG
THE WEST SIDE OF THE SJ VLY. SO WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF ADVISORY
LEVEL SPEEDS CONTINUE IN THE KERN COUNTY DESERT INTO SUNDAY EVENING.
OTHERWISE...SUNDAY WILL BE UNSEASONABLY COOL WITH RESIDUAL SHOWERS
OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND STUBBORN LOW STRATUS LINGERING THROUGH AT
LEAST THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS IN THE SIERRA FOOTHILLS...THE SOUTH
END OF THE SJ VLY AND THE NORTH FACING SLOPES OF THE TEHACHAPI MTNS.
ALTHOUGH SNOW SHOWERS COULD FALL DOWN TO PASS LEVEL IN THE KERN CO
MOUNTAINS BY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING...IT WAS FELT
THAT PRECIP AMTS WILL BE TOO LOW TO SERIOUSLY IMPACT TRAVEL THROUGH
THE GRAPEVINE AT THIS TIME. THIS MAY NEED TO BE REASSESSED AS NEWER
MODEL RUNS COME IN.

A PRONOUNCED WARMING TREND WILL TAKE PLACE EARLY NEXT WEEK AS AN
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVER CA. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT MAX TEMPS
BOUNCE BACK TO TODAY'S LEVELS BY TUESDAY. THE MODELS FORECAST A
RELATIVELY MOISTURE STARVED COLD FRONT TO MOVE SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE
CENTRAL CA INTERIOR LATE WEDNESDAY OR WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHICH COULD
REJUVENATE GUSTY WINDS ON THE WEST SIDE...ALONG THE SIERRA CREST...
AND BELOW THE MOUNTAIN PASSES OF KERN COUNTY FROM WEDNESDAY AFTN
THROUGH THURSDAY. OTHERWISE...THURSDAY WILL BECOME SIGNIFICANTLY
COOLER AGAIN WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPS FINISHING OUT
THE END OF THE WORK WEEK NEXT FRIDAY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 208 AM PDT FRI MAR 30 2012/

DISCUSSION...
COLD FRONT TO OUR NORTH AND WEAK SFC RIDGE OVER US GAVE US MOSTLY
SUNNY SKIES AND TEMPS SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL YESTERDAY AND WE ARE
EXPECTING THE SAME FOR TODAY. THE FRONT WILL GRADUALLY DRIFT SOUTH
INTO THE CENTRAL CA INTERIOR ON SATURDAY AS A VERY IMPRESSIVE
UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM MOVES OUT OF THE CEN PAC AND SLAMS INTO NRN CA
ON SAT. BUFKIT TIME SERIES INDICATED THAT ONSET OF PRECIP WOULD
BEGIN AROUND MIDDAY NEAR MCE AND SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTH DURING THE
DAY. QPF VALUES REMAIN LIGHT WITH THE SYSTEM AS THE BEST UVM AND
DYNAMICS REMAIN NORTH OF THE FA.

THE FRONT WILL QUICKLY MOVE THROUGH ON SATURDAY EVENING AND WILL
PROVIDE SHOWERS ACROSS THE SIERRA SATURDAY NIGHT. QPF AMOUNTS ARE
MARGINAL FOR AN ADVISORY AND WILL HOLD OFF FOR NOW. SPECIAL WEATHER
