AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
348 AM PST FRI JAN 29 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW TO THE CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA INTERIOR TODAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SUNDAY WILL BE COLDER
WITH ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AND
A CHANCE OF ACCUMULATING SNOW AS LOW AS 2500 FEET. UNSETTLED AND
COOLER THAN NORMAL WEATHER WILL CONTINUE MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...UPPER LEVEL ZONAL FLOW IN COMBINATION WITH A
PRECIPITABLE WATER PLUME IN EXCESS OF AN INCH EXTENDING FROM WEST
OF HAWAII TO THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COASTLINE WILL BRING VALLEY
RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW TO THE REGION. THE FIRST ROUND OF
PRECIPITATION WILL IMPACT MAINLY THE MOUNTAINS AS NUMEROUS UPPER
LEVEL SHORTWAVES MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING
INTO SATURDAY AFTERNOON. SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN GENERALLY AT OR
ABOVE 8,000 FEET THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.

ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AN UPPER TROUGH WILL DIG SOUTH INTO NORTHERN
AND CENTRAL CALIFORNIA...ALLOWING COLD AIR TO FILTER INTO THE
REGION. THIS WILL LOWER SNOW LEVELS TO BETWEEN 6,000 FEET AND
7,000 FEET BY SATURDAY EVENING. BY SUNDAY EVENING...SNOW LEVELS
ARE FORECAST TO PLUMMET TO AS LOW TO 2500 FEET ACROSS THE SIERRA
NEVADA FOOTHILLS AND AROUND 4,000 FEET NEAR THE GRAPEVINE.
ADDITIONALLY...A SIGNIFICANT ROUND OF PRECIPITATION IS FORECAST TO
IMPACT THE ENTIRE REGION ON SUNDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES SOUTH
AND EAST INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. WINTER STORM WARNINGS HAVE BEEN
POSTED FOR THE ENTIRE SIERRA NEVADA WITH SNOW ACCUMULATION
OF UP TO TWO FEET ABOVE 7,000 FEET. A FEW ISOLATED HIGHER
ELEVATIONS MAY SEE UP TO THREE FEET OF SNOW BETWEEN THIS MORNING

RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL LINGER INTO MONDAY MORNING...WHEN THE
UPPER TROUGH EXITS EAST INTO ARIZONA. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL BEGIN TO SLOWLY SHIFT EAST
