Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Joaquin Valley - Hanford CA
215 PM PST Sun Jan 8 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Periods of heavy rain and high Sierra snow will continue
over the Central California Interior through Monday. Much of the
next 5 days will be mild and wet as additional storm systems track
inland from the Pacific.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Next storm quickly approaching the Central California Interior
this afternoon as another major winter event unfolds. Currently,
regional Doppler radars show the event over Northern California
and extending down to Yosemite NP. Radar and gauge data showing
similar values of over one inch of precipitation in the last 6
hours north of San Francisco and across the Northern Sacramento
Valley. Gauge data did indicate over a half an inch in the
Yosemite area from the last 6 hours ending at 1000 am PST. Strong
winds continue to blow across the region as surface pressure
gradients from KSFO to KLAS remain above 10mb. With values
currently at 14mb, not only is Kern County able to have strong
winds, winds in the San Joaquin Valley have been able to reach
advisory criteria as well. A wind advisory is currently in effect
through this evening until the bulk of the precipitation hits the
area. Convectively, thunderstorms have been confined to the Sierra
Nevada this morning. While thunderstorm activity will fade later
today, thunderstorm potential will increase once again during the
passage of the cold front overnight.

Upper air observation from Oakland and Vandenberg both showed
considerable precip-water values near their all-time record max
values. Oakland came in with 0.99 of an inch while Vandenberg
measured 1.08 inches. With Max Average values of 1.19 and 1.12
inches of precip-water for this date, respectively, the observed
values were not far from their all-time highs. Furthermore,
observed freezing levels range from 9000 to 12000 feet from north
to south. Therefore, average snow levels should range just above
10000 feet but, will lower after the passage the cold front
overnight to around 6000 feet. In addition, Blended Total Precip-
Water satellite imagery is showing a plume of moisture
(atmospheric river) in the range of 1.2 to 2.0 inches pointing
toward Northern California.

The atmospheric river is progged to shift southward in conjunction
with the surface cold front moving through Central California
overnight. Therefore, precipitation will start again later today
and spread southward toward Kern County a few hours before
midnight. With the southward shift of the atmospheric river,
precipitation efficiency should remain high across the Sierra
Nevada as 6 hour precipitation totals of +1.00 inch during the
event from 400 pm to 400 am PST are possible. The lower elevations
will not see these values as the lack of orographic lift will cut
the values to possibly a quarter of the mountain amounts. Models
show the bulk of the event occurring before 400 am PST which will
warrant the existence of flash flood watches and river statements
for the Central California Interior for at least one more day.

While heavy precipitation may not occur after Monday, unsettled
conditions will continue for most of the week. Models show another
short-wave trof pushing through early on Wednesday with an even
stronger disturbance pushing through later on Thursday. Will deal
with current events for now and begin messaging the uncertainty of
the next few storms by the start of the work-week. Models do form
another moisture plume toward the middle of the week, but not to
the extent of the current event. Therefore, will reformulate what
the impacts will be with the later storms and issue the
appropriate statements.
