What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Hanford, CA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Jan 23, 2:43 AM PST, 10 hours 47 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 23, 2:43 AM PST, 10 hours 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Hanford CA
243 AM PST Sat Jan 23 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Precipitation will come to an end today as a storm system over
Central California dives southward into Southern California. A
trough of low pressure will deepen over California Sunday night.
This atmospheric disturbance will be responsible for another period
of wet weather Sunday night and Monday. A major storm system may
impact Central California Tuesday night through Thursday night.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
An area of low pressure aloft over Central California this morning
will move southward into Southern California this afternoon.
Precipitation in the San Joaquin Valley will come to an end this
morning. Be that as it may, there still could be a few afternoon
showers. In the Sierra Nevada, Kern County mountains, and Sierra
Nevada foothills, scattered showers are expected much of the day
today. An inch or less of snow is likely above 3,500 feet over Kern
County mountain passes today. Travel delays are possible.

The next storm system will impact Central California Sunday night
and Monday. The majority of precipitation associated with this storm
system will fall late Sunday night and Monday morning. Rain amounts
of one tenth of an inch to one quarter of an inch are expected in
the West Side Hills Sunday night and Monday. Rain amounts of one
quarter of an inch to one half of an inch are anticipated in the San
Joaquin Valley. The snow level could fall as low as 1,500 feet by
Monday. Accumulating snowfall over Kern County mountain passes
Sunday night and Monday may cause travel delays and road closures.
At this time, we expect about two to four inches of snow to
accumulate along Tejon Pass and four to six inches of snow to
accumulate along Tehachapi Pass.

A major storm system could impact Central California Tuesday night
through Thursday night. Several feet of snow is possible in the
Sierra Nevada. Rain amounts of one to two inches in the San Joaquin
Valley and two to four inches in the Sierra Nevada foothills may
lead to flooding. The snow level should start at around 2,000 feet
Tuesday night, before rising to about 4,000 feet by Wednesday
afternoon.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR conditions will prevail in the San Joaquin Valley through at
least the next 24 hours. MVFR conditions in low clouds and showers
are likely in the Sierra Nevada, Kern County mountains, and Sierra
Nevada foothills today. Areas of mountain obscuring IFR conditions
today will gradually dissipate tonight.

&&

.AIR QUALITY ISSUES...
On Saturday, January 23rd, 2021, fireplace/wood stove burning status
is: no burning unless registered in Fresno County. Further
