AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
225 PM PST WED FEB 26 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE...RAIN...HIGHER ELEVATION
SNOW...AND LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED AT TIMES THROUGH
SATURDAY. THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA DURING THURSDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY WITH BETTER CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS
THE REGION AND EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE IS
EXPECTED TO BRIEFLY RETURN SUNDAY AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
THE FIRST PRECIPITATION BAND MOVED THROUGH THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY
THIS MORNING...WITH A 125-KT JET PUSHING IT INTO CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
SOMEWHAT FASTER THAN ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED. RAINFALL FROM THIS
FIRST BAND HAS BEEN LIGHT...0.04 INCH OR LESS ON THE VALLEY FLOOR.
RADAR SHOWS THE PRECIPITATION BAND MOVING INTO THE MOUNTAINS...AND
WEBCAMS IN THE SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA SHOW SNOW FALLING AT THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS. MESO-WEST OBSERVATIONS AT 21Z /1300 PST/ PLACED
THE FREEZING LEVEL FROM AROUND 7000 FEET NEAR YOSEMITE TO AROUND
8000 FEET IN TULARE COUNTY.

RADAR AND SATELLITE LOOPS SHOW THE MAIN PRECIPITATION BAND JUST OFF
THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST AND EXTENDING SOUTHWEST INTO THE PACIFIC
OCEAN. LIGHTNING STRIKES HAVE BEEN OBSERVED OVER THE OCEAN WITH THIS
BAND...AND THE POSSIBILITY OF CONVECTION TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY
MORNING REMAINS ON TRACK.

WITH A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF THE PRECIPITATION BAND...
SOME RAIN SHADOWING IS LIKELY THIS EVENING FOR THE SOUTH END AND
WEST SIDE OF THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY. AFTER THE POST-FRONTAL WIND
SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST...RAINFALL WILL BACKFILL THE SOUTH VALLEY.

THE 21Z RFC QPF CALLS FOR UP TO AN INCH OF LIQUID IN THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA NEVADA AND A HALF TO THREE-QUARTERS OF AN INCH AT THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS. THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION IS FORECAST FOR 06-12Z
THURSDAY /2200 PST WEDNESDAY - 0400 PST THURSDAY/. THE TIMING OF THE
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA LOOKS ON
TRACK.

CONCERNING THE SECOND STORM...
SATELLITE LOOPS SHOW THE NEXT UPPER-LEVEL LOW NEAR 40N/148W...SOUTH
OF THE GULF OF ALASKA. THIS STORM IS FORECAST TO REACH THE CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA INTERIOR LATE THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH PRECIPITATION
CONTINUING OVER THE REGION THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. THE MEDIUM-RANGE
MODELS CONTINUE TO FORECAST THIS TO BE A WETTER STORM THAN THE FIRST
SYSTEM...WITH TWO-DAY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1-2 FEET LIKELY OVER THE
SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA AND SEVERAL INCHES OVER THE HIGHEST PEAKS OF
THE TEHACHAPI MOUNTAINS. THE WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA NEVADA ABOVE 6000 FEET FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT REMAINS IN EFFECT.

ANOTHER CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS IN THE SOUTH END OF
THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY FRIDAY AS A LOW-LEVEL 60-KT SOUTHERLY JET
FUNNELS THROUGH THE TEJON PASS AND OVER THE BASE OF THE GRAPEVINE.
A HIGH WIND WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE GRAPEVINE FROM 06Z-24Z
FRIDAY /2200 PST THURSDAY TO 1600 PST FRIDAY/ FOR AREAS IN THE
TEHACHAPI MOUNTAINS NEAR THE GRAPEVINE...AND A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE
SOUTH END OF THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY FOR THE SAME TIME PERIOD.

EXPECT WINDS TO INCREASE OVER THE KERN COUNTY DESERTS THURSDAY
MORNING BEHIND THE DEPARTING STORM. GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE DAY AS THE DESERTS TRANSITION INTO THE PRE-FRONTAL
ENVIRONMENT AHEAD OF THE SECOND STORM. PER COORDINATION WITH WFO/S
OXNARD AND LAS VEGAS...HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE KERN
COUNTY DESERTS FROM 17Z THURSDAY - 05Z FRIDAY /0900-2100 PST
THURSDAY/.

A COLD...UNSTABLE AIRMASS IS FORECAST TO MOVE OVER THE HANFORD
WARNING/FORECAST AREA WITH THIS SYSTEM. 500-MB TEMPERATURES ARE
FORECAST TO FALL TO -22C OR COLDER...WITH OMEGAS OF -4 TO -6. THE
LATEST MODEL RUNS HAVE THE GREATEST INSTABILITY OVER THE REGION
FRIDAY...WHILE INSTABILITY IS MAINLY LIMITED TO THE WEST SIDE OF
THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AND OVER THE TEHACHAPI MOUNTAINS WEST OF THE
GRAPEVINE SATURDAY. THUNDERSTORMS...WITH SMALL HAIL AND ISOLATED
FUNNEL CLOUDS...ARE POSSIBLE BOTH DAYS AND ARE IN THE FORECAST.

AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE IS FORECAST TO BUILD INTO CALIFORNIA BEGINNING
SUNDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...ANOTHER STORM IS SPINNING UP OVER THE
NORTHWESTERN PACIFIC NEAR 38N/169W...AND THE 12Z GFS HAS THE SYSTEM
REACHING CALIFORNIA FOR THE LATTER PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...
IFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL IN THE SIERRA DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS
WITH MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS IN PRECIPITATION. MVFR CEILINGS CAN
BE EXPECTED IN THE SIERRA FOOTHILLS AND THE NORTH FACING SLOPES
OF THE TEHACHAPI MOUNTAINS WITH LOCAL IFR IN PRECIPITATION AFTER
06Z THURSDAY. LOCAL MVFR CEILINGS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY BETWEEN 06Z THURSDAY AND 18Z THURSDAY ALONG WITH A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. WIND GUSTS OF 35 KNOTS OR GREATER ARE
LIKELY IN THE KERN COUNTY DESERT AFTER 17Z THURSDAY. VFR CONDITIONS
CAN BE EXPECTED ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR
DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
