AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
305 AM PST SAT JAN 11 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK WEATHER DISTURBANCE WILL BRUSH THE YOSEMITE REGION THIS
WEEKEND. LIGHT MOUNTAIN PRECIPITATION MAY BE POSSIBLE. STRONG WINDS
ABOVE 9000 FEET ARE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF SATURDAY OVER THE CREST OF
THE SIERRA NEVADA...WITH GUSTY WINDS OVER PARTS OF THE KERN COUNTY
MOUNTAINS AND DESERT OVERNIGHT. OTHERWISE...WEAK RIDGING WILL REMAIN
OVER CENTRAL CALIFORNIA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
HIGH CLOUDS ARE SPREADING OVER THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR THIS
MORNING...IN ADVANCE OF AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH MOVING INTO NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. SATELLITE LOOPS SHOW THE PARENT UPPER-LEVEL LOW NEAR 48N/
138W...WEST OF VANCOUVER ISLAND...WITH A WELL-DEFINED COMMA-SHAPED
CLOUD BAND OVER THE PACIFIC COASTAL LANDS FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA SOUTH
TO THE SACRAMENTO DELTA.

THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TROUGH AXIS MOVING THROUGH
THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR THIS EVENING AROUND 06Z SUNDAY /2200
PST TONIGHT/. AHEAD OF THE TROUGH AXIS...THE SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL
BRING A CHANCE FOR LIGHT PRECIPITATION TO THE YOSEMITE AREA LATER
THIS MORNING...WITH A BETTER CHANCE FOR THE SIERRA NEVADA AS FAR
SOUTH AS MADERA COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MODEL QPF AND RFC
GUIDANCE REMAIN LIGHT...WITH YOSEMITE VALLEY GETTING AROUND 0.06 INCH
OF RAIN. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL START OUT AROUND 7500 FEET THIS MORNING
THEN FALL TO 6000 FEET OVERNIGHT. THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION IS
FORECAST TO ARRIVE BEFORE THE COLDEST AIR DOES...SO SNOWFALL LIKELY
WILL BE LESS THAN AN INCH.

THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS SYSTEM IS A SERIES OF 50+ KT 700-MB SPEED
MAXES THAT ARE FORECAST TO DIVE AROUND THE TROUGH AS IT MOVES THROUGH
CALIFORNIA. THESE SPEED MAXES WILL BRING VERY STRONG WINDS TO THE
AREAS NEAR THE SIERRA NEVADA CREST...WITH GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 75 MPH
POSSIBLE ABOVE 9000 FEET AND OVER 100 MPH AT THE CREST LINE. A HIGH
WIND WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THE SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA ABOVE 9000
FEET FROM 18Z /1000 PST/ THIS MORNING THROUGH 08Z SUNDAY /MIDNIGHT
PST TONIGHT/.

FURTHER SOUTH...THE TROUGH IS FORECAST TO BRING GUSTY WINDS TO THE
KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY
MORNING. WINDS WILL GUST OVER 50 MPH THROUGH THE PASSES AND CANYONS
OF THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS...AND INTO THE KERN DESERT NEAR MOJAVE.
LOCAL GUSTS TO 60 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE AT TIMES. HAVE ISSUED A WIND
ADVISORY FOR THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND THE SOUTHEASTERN KERN
COUNTY DESERT FROM 00Z TO 15Z SUNDAY /1600 PST THIS AFTERNOON TO
0700 PST SUNDAY/.

THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE WILL REBUILD INTO CALIFORNIA BEHIND THE
TROUGH...AND PERSIST OVER THE STATE THROUGH NEXT WEEK. 850-MB
TEMPERATURES OVER THE CENTRAL SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY ARE FORECAST
TO WARM TO AROUND 14 C BEHIND THE SHORT-WAVE. THE WARMEST SPOTS IN
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY COULD SEE HIGHS APPROACH
70 DEGREES DURING THE LATTER HALF OF NEXT WEEK.

NEXT TUESDAY...JANUARY 14TH...IS THE LAST DAY THAT THE RECORD HIGH
FOR FRESNO IS IN THE 60S /68 IN 2012/. THERE ARE NO DAYS IN JANUARY
WHEN THE RECORD HIGH WAS IN THE 60S...BUT THERE ARE FOUR DAYS WHEN
THE RECORD HIGH WAS IN THE LOWER 80S. FRESNO COULD APPROACH ITS
RECORD HIGHS LATE NEXT WEEK...BUT BAKERSFIELD/S RECORDS ARE SAFE.

THE LAST TIME BAKERSFIELD HAD A DRY FIRST HALF OF JANUARY WAS IN
2012...FOLLOWED BY JANUARY 1963....1943 AND EARLIER. TRACES OF RAIN
FELL IN THE FIRST HALF OF JANUARY IN 2000...1994 AND SEVERAL OTHER
YEARS.

FRESNO/S LAST DRY FIRST HALF OF JANUARY ALSO WAS IN 2012...BUT THE
NEXT WAS NOT UNTIL 1923. A TRACE OF RAIN FELL DURING THE FIRST HALF
OF JANUARY IN 1972...AND SEVERAL TIMES IN THE 1960S.

&&

.AVIATION...
IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY...AREAS MVFR VISIBILITIES IN HAZE WITH
LOCAL IFR THROUGH 18Z. LOCAL MVFR CIGS AROUND YOSEMITE AFTER 15Z
WITH PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE. VFR CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
