What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind 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 high wind warning went out at Jan 8, 2:40 AM PST, 7 hours 48 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 8, 2:40 AM PST, 7 hours 48 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hanford CA 240 AM PST Sun Jan 8 2023 .SYNOPSIS...A storm system will bring light to moderate precipitation and breezy conditions to the area through this afternoon. A much stronger storm system will push through the area on Monday and Tuesday bringing moderate to heavy precipitation and windy conditions. Drier weather is likely next Wednesday and Thursday. Another storm will bring more wet weather to the area by the end of the week. && .DISCUSSION... A low pressure system pushing into Norcal has spread precipitation southward into our area during the evening with several stations from Fresno County northward already picking up between a tenth and a quarter inch of liquid precipitation with the snow level currently running close to 5000 feet. Another impact from this system has been increased southerly winds with several stations in the Sierra Nevada measuring gusts above 45 mph and in the adjacent foothills measuring gusts exceeding 35 mph. A Wind Advisory remains in effect for these areas along with most of the San Joaquin Valley and West Side Hills until 100 pm PST this afternoon when the current storm moves out of the area. The storm will also provide for light to moderate precipitation for our area through late this morning. A brief respite is expected this afternoon an evening before a much stronger storm moves into our area late tonight and impacts our area through Tuesday night. This system contains a deep fetch of moisture of tropical origin and is progged to provide our area with a period of moderate to heavy precipitation between Monday morning and Tuesday evening. This system is also a very warm system and snow levels will be high (8000 feet or higher) on Monday and slowly lower to around 6000 feet by late Tuesday morning to 4500 to 5000 feet by the time the precipitation ends Tuesday evening or early Wednesday morning. QPF progs are showing some very impressive precipitation amounts with this system with most of the Sierra Nevada picking up between 6 and 10 inches of liquid precipitation between Monday morning and Tuesday evening with several feet of new snowfall expected above 8000 feet. The higher Sierra foothills are expected to pick up between 4 and 7 inches of rainfall with 2 to 5 inches in the lower foothills. Between 1 and 3 inches of rainfall are expected across most of the San Joaquin Valley and the Tehachapi Mountains and half an inch to an inch of rainfall across the Kern County Deserts. As the result of the abundant precipitation, an aerial Flood Watch remains in effect for much of our CWFA until early Wednesday morning. Ponding of water on valley roads is likely on Monday and Tuesday leading to hazardous travel conditions, especially in low lying and poor drainage areas. In addition, the WRF and NBM are indicating enough instability and CAPE over much of our CWFA between Monday evening and Tuesday evening for isolated thunderstorms. The HRRR has been showing a trend towards increased downslope winds along the West Side Hills and valley facing slopes of the Tehachapi Mountains Monday afternoon and evening. Later shifts will need to monitor this for potential wind highlights. Model ensembles are continuing to favor mainly dry conditions prevailing across our area on Wednesday and Thursday with a couple of weak systems moving to the north of our area. The main impacts that these systems will have for our area is that they will likely provide for enough mixing to inhibit widespread fog from forming in the San Joaquin Valley although patchy fog will be possible both days in the San Joaquin Valley with the ground being very saturated. The medium range ensemble means continue to show another moisture trough moving into central California by Friday which will likely bring another period of precipitation to our area through next weekend. && .AVIATION...In the San Joaquin Valley, West Side Hills and Sierra foothills, areas of MVFR conditions in low clouds and rain until 18Z and increasing areas of MVFR conditions in low clouds and rain after 00Z. In the Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains, areas of mountain obscuring IFR conditions in low clouds and precipitation. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail for the next 24 hours. && .AIR QUALITY ISSUES...On Sunday January 8 2023, Fireplace/Wood Stove Burning Status is: No Burning Unless Registered in Fresno and Kern Counties. Burning Discouraged in Kings, Madera, Merced, and Tulare Counties, and Kern (Greater Frazier Park Area) and Sequoia National Park and Forest. && .CERTAINTY... The level of certainty for days 1 and 2 is high. The level of certainty for days 3 through 7 is medium. Certainty levels include low...medium...and high. Please visit www.weather.gov/hnx/certainty.html for additional information and/or to provide feedback. && .HNX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flood Watch through late Tuesday night for CAZ300>325-327- 329>336-338. Wind Advisory until 1 PM PST this afternoon for CAZ300>308- 311>313-317>320. Winter Storm Warning until 4 AM PST Wednesday for CAZ323-326>330. && public/aviation/fire wx...DS pio/idss...JMC weather.gov/hanford
