Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Joaquin Valley - Hanford CA
430 AM PDT MON SEP 12 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
An upper upper low moves into northern California today and
across central California Tuesday. This system will bring stronger
breezes this afternoon and evening. A cold front will bring much
cooler air on Tuesday, as well as gusty winds in the Kern county
mountains and desert. Afterward, expect a warming trend as high
pressure returns.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Clear and dry conditions across central CA this morning. Water
vapor images show an upper low over Oregon moving south towards
CA. The marine layer along the coast has deepen to near 2kft and
is filtering through the coastal mountain passes into the valley.
Winds have been gusting 20-25 mph through Pacheco and Panoche
pass due to moderate gradients from the coast to the interior
valley. Increasing onshore west flow ahead of the trough will
result in a pick up in gusty winds in the afternoon and evening
along the west side of the valley especially below the passes. Dry
conditions will likely result in blowing dust in parts of valley
susceptible to the onshore winds.

Dry weather is expected over the district today as a trough drops
south into North CA by the end of the day. The trough will move
into central CA Monday night and Tuesday. As it approaches from
the north, this trough will bring an increase in winds to the Kern
county mountains and desert Monday afternoon and evening. Westerly
winds will remain gusty in this region through Tuesday as the
center of the low settles southward into central California.
Another region that could experience gusty winds is in the along
the Sierra foothills Monday night into Tuesday morning. The NAM12
continues to indicate the development of a weak barrier jet in the
925 MB to 850 MB boundary layer during this time with southeast
winds of around 15 knots.

Satellite images do not show any deep substantial moisture with
the weather system and models in good agreement limiting
precipitation amounts to the higher elevations of the Southern
Sierra Nevada. Thus shower and thunderstorm activity is expected
to be confined to the higher elevations towards Yosemite National
Park from late Monday night through Tuesday.

The trough originated from the gulf of alaska and will bring a
much cooler air mass into central California. The cooling trend
will actually begin today, with temperatures cooling around 5
degrees across the region compared to Sunday. On Tuesday,
temperatures will cool another 8 to 15 degrees across the region.
Afternoon highs in the San Joaquin Valley will be near 80 degrees
on Tuesday. In the higher elevations of the Sierra, temperatures
will be cold enough that there could be a few snow showers above
9500 feet. snow accumulations with the heavier showers could be up
to an inch in the sierra high country.

The cooler weather won't last very long, however, as the upper
low shifts east on Wednesday and high pressure rebuilds over the
region for the last half of the week. This will allow temperatures
to warm back to near normal normal by Thursday and Friday and a
few degrees above normal next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...
Wind gusts of 35 knots or greater can be expected through and
below the Kern County mountain passes and over the Sierra crest
through tonight. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail over
the central California interior during 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.

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