AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
207 AM PST SAT FEB 23 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE OVER INTERIOR CENTRAL CALIFORNIA WITH
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND A GRADUAL WARMING TREND EXPECTED THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE
KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND DESERT SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS A WEAK UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE PASSES OVER THE REGION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A TALE OF TWO SEPARATED
FRONTS, THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM RACING INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
WHILE THE LOWER LEVEL FRONT NOW IS PUSHING SOUTHWARD INTO
NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA. AREA RADARS SHOW SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH
THE LATTER FEATURE AND FORECAST MODELS HAVE IT CLIPPING THE SIERRA
LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. THE MAIN ENERGY WILL STAY EAST
OF THE SIERRA HOWEVER ENOUGH MOISTURE AND LIFT WILL BE PRESENT FOR
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS. SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS
INCREASE CONSIDERABLY TODAY AND BY THIS AFTERNOON WINDS WILL GET
GOING PRETTY GOOD THROUGH THE TEHACHAPI PASS AND INTO THE KERN
COUNTY DESERT. MAY NEED TO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY LATER THIS
MORNING FOR THESE AREAS.

BY THIS EVENING THE SIERRA PRECIPITATION THREAT WILL END HOWEVER
SOME UPSLOPE SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALONG
THE SAN EMIGDIO MOUNTAINS NEAR THE GRAPEVINE. BY SUNDAY ALL AREAS
WILL BE DRY WITH SHORTWAVE RIDGING PUSHING INTO CALIFORNIA.
ANOTHER WEAK CLIPPER SYSTEM IS PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
GREAT BASIN MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY HOWEVER IT WILL BE MUCH TOO
FAR EAST TO AFFECT SENSIBLE WEATHER IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. THE
MUCH TOO FAMILIAR EAST PACIFIC RIDGE IS PROGGED TO TAKE HOLD FOR
MUCH OF NEXT WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND. DRY WEATHER TO CONTINUE.
