Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Hanford CA
409 AM PDT Sat Jun 1 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
An area of low pressure will move into Southern California
today. This feature will influence the weather over our region
through the weekend and bring a continued threat of afternoon and
evening thunderstorms over mainly the mountain areas. WE are
expecting a few thunderstorms to drift West in to the San Joaquin
Valley late this afternoon and evening. Temperatures will remain
generally seasonal for this time of year. Warmer than average
temperatures are expected next week as high pressure builds over
the area.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
The upper level low pressure center that has brought unsettled
weather to the region will slowly drift to the south of Kern
County today. This will create more of an easterly flow across the
Central CA Interior. Very impressive SB Cape values of 1000 to
1500 j/kg are forecast across the Sierra this afternoon with
another round of convection expected. We are becoming more
concerned that the easterly flow will steer some of the storms
into the SJV later this evening. HRRR simulated reflectivity
product has been consistent with bringing heavy showers and
thunderstorms into Tulare and eastern Kings county valley regions
later today. WPC has the Sierra in an excessive rainfall outlook
with PW's approaching 1 inch in the Sierra. One factor with the
low center being farther south will be the increased speed of the
storms as they try to move out of the Sierra later today. Minor
flooding is possible with the storms. Some storms may become
severe later this evening.

Another couple rounds of convection is expected on Sunday and
Monday in the Sierra and possible into Kern County mountains.
Upper level low pressure center slightly weakens and begins to
open up into SRN CA by Monday evening. The track of the low
continues southeast into AZ by Tuesday afternoon. EPAC ridging
will build in over the area and bring some very warm temperatures
across the region by mid week. Cant rule out an isolated shower
along the crest with plenty of sublimation taking place. Most
areas will see upper 90s on Wednesday, but an isolated triple
digit is not out of the question.

A trough will drop south from the PAC NW on thursday that will
knock the temps down a few degrees. A more robust trough will plow
south into the area on Friday with even more cooling expected for
next weekend and dry SW flow aloft.

&&

.AVIATION...
Scattered thunderstorms are possible over the mountains and
foothills today from 18z through 03Z Sunday. VFR conditions will
otherwise 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 medium.
The level of certainty for days 3 through 7 is medium.

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