.DISCUSSION...
SATELLITE LOOPS SHOW THE UPPER-LEVEL LOW WEST OF THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA COAST. A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES ROTATING AROUND THE LOW
WILL BRING PERIODS OF RAIN...OCCASIONALLY HEAVY...TO INTERIOR
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA.

SEVERAL FORECAST CONCERNS THIS AFTERNOON...

THE FIRST IS THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING IN THE BURN SCAR AREAS
IN AND NEAR YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK...INCLUDING THE RIM...EL PORTAL
AND FRENCH FIRE SCARS...AND NEAR LAKE ISABELLA. UP TO 2.50 INCHES OF
RAIN ARE EXPECTED NEAR YOSEMITE...AND AMOUNTS WOULD BE HIGHER UNDER
ANY THUNDERSTORMS. THESE AMOUNTS COULD CAUSE FLASH FLOODING IN AND
BELOW THE BURN SCARS.

IN KERN COUNTY...AROUND AN INCH OF RAIN IS FORECAST FOR THE KERN
RIVER VALLEY AND COULD CAUSE FLASH FLOODING IN AND BELOW THE WAY
FIRE BURN SCAR FROM THE SCAR TO LAKE ISABELLA. ANOTHER CONCERN IS
THE THREAT OF FLOODING IN THE PIUTE MOUNTAINS. THE LATEST QPF IS FOR
2-2.50 INCHES OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE PIUTES...AND THE
RAIN RATES ARE EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE FLOOD THRESHOLD FOR THE
KELSO CREEK WATERSHED. THE KELSO CREEK WATERSHED ALSO DRAINS INTO

ABOVE 8000 FEET...ESPECIALLY NEAR YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK. THE WINTER

THE LAST CONCERN IS WINDS AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH CENTRAL
