AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
257 PM PST TUE FEB 18 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER TROUGH WILL BRING BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS OVER MUCH OF
THE DISTRICT LATER TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. AREAS OF BLOWING DUST
ARE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY IN THE WEST SIDE OF THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY
AND IN THE KERN COUNTY DESERTS WEDNESDAY. OTHERWISE...DRY CONDITIONS
WITH MILD TEMPERATURES EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
LOTS OF HIGH CLOUD COVER OVER CENTRAL CALIFORNIA DUE TO A SURGE OF
MID TO UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE AHEAD OF AN UPPER TROUGH OFF THE NORTH
CALIFORNIA COAST. CLOUD COVER KEPT TEMPERATURES A BIT COOLER THAN
PREDICTED TODAY. THE TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST OVER NCAL TONIGHT AND
INTO NEVADA WEDNESDAY. LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN ON THE MILD
SIDE TONIGHT WITH CLOUD COVER THIS EVENING THAN INCREASING WINDS
AND MIXING LATER TONIGHT. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL BE RELATIVELY DRY
WITH THE MAIN WEATHER CONCERN BEING STRONG GUSTY WINDS CREATING
AREAS OF DUST. STRONG ONSHORE FLOW AND NORTH GRADS WILL PROVIDE
BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS OVER MUCH OF THE DISTRICT LATE TONIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY. THE BEST WIND POTENTIAL IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY
WILL BE TOWARDS MERCED AND THE WEST SIDE THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY.
THE COMBINATION OF ANY STRONG WINDS AND DRY AGRICULTURAL LAND MAY
RESULT IN AREAS OF BLOWING DUST. GUSTY WINDS WILL OCCUR IN THE
HIGH SIERRA COUNTRY TONIGHT WITH THE UPPER LEVEL JET BECOMING
PARALLEL TO THE SIERRA NEVADA OVERNIGHT. STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL
BE LIKELY OVER MUCH OF THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND MOUNTAINS
PASSES LEADING INTO THE HIGH DESERT. WINDS WILL DIMINISH WEDNESDAY
EVENING AS WIND FLOW SHIFTS NE AND OFFSHORE.

AS THE TROUGH MOVES INLAND...THE EAST PACIFIC RIDGE WILL STRENGTHEN
WEST OF THE CALIFORNIA COAST. 500-MB HEIGHTS OVER THE CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA INTERIOR WILL RISE TO AROUND 5700 METERS FOR THE LATTER
PART OF THE WEEK AND TEMPERATURES WILL WARM BACK TO ABOVE NORMAL.

THE 00Z MEDIUM-RANGE MODELS FORECAST THE RIDGE TO BUILD ONSHORE FOR
THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK...WITH DRY WEATHER AND HIGH TEMPERATURES
CONTINUING TO WARM TO SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION...
A COLD FRONT PUSHING INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA OVERNIGHT WILL ALLOW
FOR AN INCREASE IN SURFACE WINDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE DISTRICT AFTER
18Z WEDNESDAY. WINDS ACROSS THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY COULD REACH UP
TO 30KTS...WITH MTN AND DESERT LOCATIONS REACH UP TO 45KTS. WHILE
VFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS THE CENTRAL CA INTERIOR
DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS...BLOWING DUST MAY LOCATION SOME
VISIBILITIES DOWN TO MVFR AND POSSIBLE IFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.AIR QUALITY ISSUES...
NONE.

&&

.CERTAINTY...

THE LEVEL OF CERTAINTY FOR DAYS 1 AND 2 IS MEDIUM.
THE LEVEL OF CERTAINTY FOR DAYS 3 THROUGH 7 IS HIGH.

THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED AS PART OF A TRIAL PROJECT CONDUCTED
BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD.
