AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
335 AM PST SUN FEB 8 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
RAIN AND VERY HIGH ELEVATION LIGHT SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND TAPERING OFF BY MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN BY
TUESDAY PRODUCING DRY WEATHER. AND PATCHY NIGHTTIME AND MORNING
FOG IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
IN BETWEEN STORMS THIS MORNING AS FOG DOMINATES THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY. YET...THE NEXT IN A SERIES OF STORMS IS QUICKLY
APPROACHING THE WEST COAST FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN/SNOW. AT THE
MOMENT...WILL HOLD OFF ON A DENSE FOG ADVISORY AS THICK CLOUDS
MOVE ONTO THE CALIFORNIA COAST AHEAD OF THE PRECIPITATION. MODELS
PROG THE TIMING OF THE THICK CLOUDS OVERSPREADING THE DISTRICT
AFTER 400 AM PST...AND ALLOWING FOR FOG DISPERSAL THEREAFTER.
NOW THAT THE PRECIP FROM THE FIRST STORM HAS FINALLY EXITED THE
DISTRICT...MODEL TIMING FOR THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION IS SET FOR
A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNRISE AND NEAR 1000 AM PST. AHEAD OF THE
PRECIP...A MODERATE INCREASE IN WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR SOME
DISSIPATION OF THE FOG.

THE ATMOSPHERIC RIVER CONTINUES AS SIGNIFICANT SUBTROPICAL
MOISTURE STREAMS INTO CALIFORNIA. OBSERVED AND MODEL PRECIP WATER
VALUES OF 1 TO 1.5 INCHES ARE ON TRACK TO HIT CALIFORNIA TODAY. IN
ADDITION...AN UPPER LOW...CURRENTLY ABOUT 400 MILES WEST OF THE
BAY AREA...IS PROG TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. BECAUSE THIS
IS A MUCH STRONGER DISTURBANCE...AND SUPPORTED BY A +130KT JET MAX
WITH GOOD UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCES...BETTER LIFT WILL EXIST ACROSS
THE DISTRICT. IN ADDITION TO THE LIFT AND MOISTURE...AN INCREASE
IN INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT TODAY. STORM
PREDICTION CENTER HAS THEREFORE PLACE PORTIONS OF THE DISTRICT
UNDER A MARGINAL RISK OF POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. WHILE
MOST OF THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY IS UNDER THE THREAT OF
THUNDERSTORMS...AREAS FROM FRESNO COUNTY NORTHWARD MAY SEE EVEN
STRONGER STORMS THIS AFTERNOON. CURRENT FORECAST REFLECTS THIS
THINKING WITH ONLY MINORS CHANGES NEEDED THIS MORNING. CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT ALONG WITH OROGRAPHIC EFFECTS WILL ALLOW FOR GOOD
PRECIP EFFICIENCIES ADD ALLOW FOR MUCH OF THE PRECIP WATER TO
RAIN OR SNOW OUT ON SUNDAY. WITH THIS...WILL ALLOW THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH AND AREAL FLOOD ADVISORY TO REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR TODAY.

AFTER THE SECOND STORM...RIDGING WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION BETWEEN
MONDAY AND TUESDAY. AT WHICH TIME THE PRECIP WILL COME TO AN END
AND PERSISTENT VALLEY FOG WILL START UP AGAIN. LONGER RANGE
ENSEMBLE MODELS SHOW THE RIDGE PATTERN OVER THE WESTERN CONUS
BUILDING THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEK. WHILE THE RIDGE PATTERN MAY
WEAKEN TOWARD THE WEEKEND...A DEEP UPPER LOW OVER THE EASTERN
CONUS WILL NOT ALLOW THE RIDGE TO MOVE. MODELS SHOWING HIGHER
CONFIDENCE WITH THE LONGER RANGE SOLUTION...SO WILL NOT INTRODUCE
PRECIP AFTER THE SECOND STORM.
