AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
232 PM PST TUE DEC 23 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA FOR ONE MORE DAY...WITH PATCHY SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY FOG
POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING. VALLEY RAIN SHOWERS
AND HIGHER ELEVATION SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE STILL DOMINATING THE REGION AS FOG AND LOW CLOUDS
LINGER OVER THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR. WHILE MOST OF THE
VALLEY HAS CLEARED OUT...THE STAGNANT WEATHER PATTERN WILL ALLOW
FOR ANOTHER NIGHT OF VALLEY FOG WITH PATCHES OF VERY DENSE FOG.
WILL NOT ISSUE A DENSE FOG ADVISORY AS CURRENT MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE
NOT INDICATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD DENSE FOG DUE TO AN
APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM OFF THE PACIFIC COAST. YET...WILL MONITOR
THE SITUATION FOR ANY CHANGES IN THE POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF
OVERNIGHT FOG.

THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OVERNIGHT FOG WILL BE DUE TO
THE TIMING OF A STORM SYSTEM DROPPING FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA.
CURRENTLY...THE STORM IS CENTERED OFF THE CANADIAN COAST AND
EXPECTED TO DROP SOUTHWARD ON WEDNESDAY. BOTH DETERMINISTIC AND
PROBABILISTIC FORECAST MODELS SHOW HIGH CONFIDENCE IN HAVING A
DISTURBANCE DROP FROM THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND THROUGH NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. TIMING OF THE RAIN/SNOW STARTING OVER MERCED COUNTY
TO YOSEMITE NP WILL BE AT NEAR 400 PM PST AND SPREADING SOUTHWARD
THROUGH THE EVENING. BY 4 PM WEDNESDAY...MODELS INDICATE STRONG
UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE FROM A +120 KNOT JET MAX PASSING OVERHEAD.
THEREFORE...POSITIVE VORT MAX ENERGY...COUPLED WITH A JET MAX WILL
WILL PROVIDE THE SUPPORT FOR THE HIGH POTENTIAL OF MEASURABLE
PERCIP FROM 4 PM PST WEDNESDAY THROUGH AT LEAST 10 AM CHRISTMAS
MORNING. HOWEVER...OROGRAPHIC EFFECTS WILL ALLOW THE MOUNTAINS TO
POSSIBLY RECEIVE TWICE AS MUCH PRECIP AS VALLEY LOCATIONS. WITH
THIS...WILL NOT EXPECT POSSIBLE WIDESPREAD VALLEY FLOODING AS SNOW
AMOUNTS MAY REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.

BEFORE THE END OF THE STORM EVENT...SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP TO NEAR
4000 FEET. WHILE 4000 FEET WILL KEEP THE SNOW IN THE SIERRA
NEVADA...TEJON PASS...JUST SOUTHEAST OF FRAZIER PARK MAY BE INSIDE
THE SNOW LINE. DUE TO CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY TRAVEL...DIFFICULT DRIVING
CONDITIONS MAY BE CREATE DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON
CHRISTMAS OVER THE GRAPEVINE. IN ADDITION...A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR STRONG WINDS AND SNOWFALL ACROSS THE
TEHACHPAI RANGE GENERALLY ABOVE 6000 FEET...BUT WILL INCLUDE THE
4000 FEET PASS LEVEL.

AFTERWARD...COLD AND DRY AIR WILL FILTER INTO THE CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA INTERIOR ON FRIDAY AS THE CHRISTMAS STORM MOVES THROUGH
THE FOUR CORNERS AREA. WHILE SIGNIFICANT MIXING MAY PREVENT
WIDESPREAD NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES...SATURDAY WILL SEE
CONDITIONS SETTLE DOWN AS OVERNIGHT LOWS REACH THE FREEZING MARK.
WILL MONITOR CONDITIONS FOR THE THREAT OF VALLEY FREEZING
CONDITIONS THIS WEEKEND. BY MONDAY...THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
WILL REBUILD OVER THE WEST COAST...ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO
MODERATE BACK TO ABOVE FREEZING CONDITIONS. AS THE RIDGE REBUILDS
NEXT WEEK...LONG RANGE MODELS SHOW A WEAK DISTURBANCE RIDING OVER
THE RIDGE AND DROPPING TOWARD THE GREAT BASIN. WHILE THIS SECOND
STORM WILL BE MUCH DRIER...AS AN INSIDE SLIDER...AND CHANGE
TEMP/WINDS OVER THE REGION. UNCERTAINTY IS VERY HIGH WITH THIS
NEXT MIDWEEK STORM AS A POSSIBLE MONO WIND EVENT OVER YOSEMITE ON
ABOUT WEDNESDAY /DEC 31/ MORNING. AGAIN...NOT ALL MODELS ARE
FORECASTING THE NECESSARY INGREDIENTS FOR STRONG WINDS BY NEXT
WEDNESDAY MORNING. AGAIN...WILL WAIT TO SEE IF CONFIDENCE CAN GROW
ON THIS WIND EVENT DURING THE LONG TERM.

&&

.AVIATION...IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY...AREAS OF MVFR IN LOW CLOUDS
CONTINUING THROUGH THIS EVENING THEN BECOMING IFR/LIFR IN
MIST/FOG BETWEEN 03Z WED AND 09Z WED AND CONTINUING THROUGH 18Z
THEN IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR IN MIST AND LOW CLOUDS BETWEEN 18Z WED
AND 20Z WED. INCREASING AREAS OF MVFR AND LOCAL IFR NEAR YOSEMITE
PARK AFTER 21Z IN PRECIPITATION WITH MOUNTAINS BECOMING OBSCURED.
OTHERWISE...VFR WILL PREVAIL OVER THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR
FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

&&

.AIR QUALITY ISSUES...
NONE.

&&

.CERTAINTY...

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