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 Dec 20, 4:25 AM PST, 10 hours 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 20, 4:25 AM PST, 10 hours 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hanford CA 425 AM PST Mon Dec 20 2021 .SYNOPSIS... A cold air mass over Central California will bring freezing low temperatures to the mountains and desert areas tonight. Areas of dense fog dense will plague the SJ valley through the morning. Precipitation chances will increase Tuesday night as a strong storm system approaches the coast. Moderate to heavy rain and mountain snow will be possible Wednesday and Thursday. && .DISCUSSION... Satellite images show widespread low stratus and fog across much of the San Joaquin Valley. Fog formed early last night with higher dew points from afternoon clearing and mixing, increasing low level mixing. Central CA will be on the warm side of a ridge which will amplify while shifting more inland through Tuesday. Think some fog may be probable tonight but models show an increase in subtropical moisture and high clouds which will mitigate the fog threat. The south end of the valley may also turn out drier due to breezy south wind developing over the Tehachapi mountains and downsloping over the south end of the valley tonight and Tuesday. Model guidance in fair agreement that a significant pattern change will occur this week as a strong storm system off the coast brings an extended period of wet weather. Models have been trending slower with the onset of precipitation. Chances begin on Tuesday night in the central CA interior. A storm off the Pacific Northwest coast will slowly dig south due to a rex block in the East Pacific. Models show the system will tap into subtropical moisture due to an increasing southwest flow south of the system. Ensemble means show precipitable water values ranging from 0.75-1.0 inch over central CA which is 1-2 sigmas above seasonal normals on Wednesday. A series of shortwaves are progged to impact the west coast through the end of the week bringing several rounds of precipitation. A second and colder trough will push southward over the Pacific Northwest Thursday bringing another period of widespread precipitation across the central CA Interior. Latest QPF from Tues-Thursday indicate 0.5-1.5 inch of rain across the SJ Valley. The Sierra and adjacent foothills are looking at 2 to 6 inches of rainfall possible. Snow levels will start out rather high at around 7000 feet through Wednesday, but will lower to around 5000 feet on Thursday and lower Thursday night possibly to 3000 feet by Friday. A Winter Storm Watch has been launched for the Sierra Nevada from Yosemite NP to Lake Isabella from late Tuesday night until Sunday afternoon. Rainfall in the Kern Mountains looks to range from 1 to 3 inches with around 0.5" in the Desert. Winds will increase Thursday night through Friday with breezy to windy conditions expected, especially across the Kern County Mountains. So lots of weather concerns with hazardous travel conditions looking likely for the coming week. Precipitation should be diminishing Thursday night as the storm moves east of the area. A brief dry period on Friday. Before another weather system brings a threat of precipitation across CA next weekend. Models show this system may be colder coming out of Alaska area. && .AVIATION... Widespread IFR and and local LIFR conditions in mist/fog across the San Joaquin Valley through 18z Monday. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail across the central CA interior for the next 24 hours. && .AIR QUALITY ISSUES... On Monday December 20 2021... Unhealthy for sensitive groups in Fresno and Kern Counties. Fireplace/Wood Stove Burning Status is: No Burning Unless Registered in Kings... Madera... Merced and Tulare Counties. No Burning For All in Fresno and Kern Counties. Further information is available at Valleyair.org && .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.
