Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Joaquin Valley - Hanford CA
349 PM PST Sat Jan 7 2017

.SYNOPSIS...Periods of heavy rain and high Sierra snow will continue
over the central California interior through Sunday night. Much of
next week will be mild and wet as additional storm systems track
inland from the Pacific.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Very wet conditions today as an atmospheric river continues to
affect central CA. Radar has been estimating very heavy rainfall
over the sierra along the West slopes of Tulare and Fresno
counties. Some gages have recorded over an inch of rain in the
past six hours. The morning sounding from Vandenberg AFB show a
strong onshore flow with a low level flow from ssw at 40kt and a
mid level flow around 10kft WSW 50-60kt. This flow is creating
some gusty winds along and below the West side hills of the San
Joaquin Valley. The freezing level is fairly high 10kft at KVBG.
This will keep the threat of heavy snow above 9kft and maintain a
threat of damaging weather to flash flooding in the mountains and
areal flooding in the valley.

In the short Term...A fetch of tropical moisture continues to
move onshore over the central coast. Wind direction at mid levels
will be favorable for orographic lift over the Sierra Nevada
through Sunday night and expected to receive very heavy
precipitation. Rain in the lower elevations adjacent in the San
Joaquin Valley will be heavy at times through at least this
evening. High resolution models show potential for Gusty winds
developing in Merced county and along the West side of San
Joaquin Valley early Sunday due a disturbance and surface low
pushing through the delta area.

Satellite images show the atmospheric river shifting North off
the CA coastal waters due a a deepening low upstream in the Epac.
The ridge amplifies northward shifting the fetch of moisture
toward N CA. This should provide a break in rainfall in Kern
County later tonight and much of the South Valley on Sunday.
Precipitation will likely continue in the orographic regions of
the Sierra and in the extreme northern parts of the San Joaquin
valley. A cold front approaching from the northwest will bring a
southward shift of the atmospheric river Sunday evening.
Precipitation should return to Kern County late Sunday night and
continue into Monday as the cold front exits South and East of the
area. A slow drying, clearing trend should take place Monday
afternoon behind the weather system. The North sectors of the
central valley and Sierra Nevada towards Yosemite may likely
continue to see precipitation Monday night as another trough moves
into N CA. Snow levels will lower to about 5500 feet in the Sierra
Monday afternoon, then fluctuate little through Tuesday night. The
latter part of the forecast will remain unsettled due to a series
of disturbances moving through the North and Central CA.

&&

.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 low.

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