Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Joaquin Valley - Hanford CA
432 AM PST Thu Dec 1 2016

.SYNOPSIS...Dry weather will continue over the central California
interior through the weekend with seasonable afternoon temperatures.
Frost and below freezing minimum temperatures will occur each night
in the coldest locations of the San Joaquin Valley and the Kern
County desert.

 &&

.DISCUSSION...A weak short wave trough is currently moving over
central California with little more than some mid and high clouds.
Nonetheless, the clouds are acting as a deterrent to widespread
dense fog formation in the San Joaquin Valley early this morning.
Once this feature exits into Arizona, we can expect a decrease in
clouds over the district today with temperatures warming to near
normal.

In the broader synoptic picture, this short wave feature is rounding
the base of a much larger upper level trough which will deepen over
the Great Basin during the next 24 hours. Meanwhile, a ridge of high
pressure aloft over the Eastern Pacific will build into the Pacific
Northwest while a rather strong (1035 MB) surface high settles over
Idaho and northern Nevada. A resultingly strong offshore flow will
become established across California by late tonight. This northeast
flow will be supported by a 140 knot jet aloft which is forecast to
move in over the Sierra from Fresno county northward by Friday morning.
This is a favorable setup for Mono winds in the Sierra which have the
potential to be very damaging if they translate down to ground level.
The high resolution WRF forecasts vertical wind velocities to increase
to more than 200 microbars/sec over the Sierra north of Kings Canyon
by Friday morning. If so, winds could easily gust to 58 mph or higher
in some Sierra locations Friday morning, especially in northeast to
southwest oriented canyons in the foothills and higher elevations of
the Sierra. We are keeping the High Wind Watch in effect for this
region and will probably upgrade tje watch to a High Wind Warning
later today.

The other downside of this northeast flow aloft is that it will bring
a drier and colder air mass into much of the central California interior
within 48 hours. The models have backed off a bit on its arrival, and so
it now looks as though much of the San Joaquin Valley will be spared
from a freeze Friday morning. We've canceled the Freeze Watch in the
valley for tonight accordingly. However, the San Joaquin Valley is not
yet out of the woods. Minimum temperatures Saturday morning will likely
be a little colder in most locations (mainly between 28 and 32 degrees)
with the risk of a freeze. The offshore flow will weaken considerably by
the start of the weekend as the upper level trough settles gravitates
into Mexico and the ridge axis shifts southward over central California.
This ridge will remain over the Golden State through the weekend and
bring milder afternoon temperatures to the entire CWA Sunday.

The models forecast another upper level trough to drop southward out
of western Canada early next week. An Arctic air mass will accompany
this particular trough and will eventually invade much of the
continental U.S. next week except for Florida. This Arctic air mass
will also slosh westward into California in somewhat modified form.
However, its cold impacts will be felt across all of the central
California interior by the middle of next week and could bring a
greater threat of a hard freeze in the San Joaquin Valley Tuesday
morning and again Wednesday morning. Temperatures should moderate
by next Thursday as a zonal flow aloft brings relatively milder
Pacific air into the district. Otherwise, much if not all of the
next 7 days will remain dry across central California.

&&

.AVIATION...
Areas of MVFR visibilities in haze and mist in the San Joaquin
Valley through 18z. Otherwise, VFR conditions can be expected across
the central California interior during the next 24 hours.

&&

.AIR QUALITY ISSUES...
On Thursday December 1 2016... Firepalce/Wood Stove Burning Status
is: No Burning Unless Registered in Fresno County.
Further information is available at Valleyair.org

&&

.CERTAINTY...

The level of certainty for days 1 and 2 is medium.
The level of certainty for days 3 through 7 is medium.

Certainty levels include low...medium...and high. Please visit
