AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA 250 PM PDT SUN AUG 7 2005 .SHORT TERM...FOR THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR...CONVECTION FIRED UP OVER THE SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA AGAIN TODAY...ALTHOUGH THE FOCUS OF CONVECTION WAS FURTHER NORTH THAN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. THE KERN COUNTY DESERTS HAVE REMAINED THUNDERSTORM-FREE SO FAR...AS HAS WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY...BUT AS THE MONSOONAL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM NORTHWARD...EXPECT A FEW THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE DESERTS BY LATE AFTERNOON. DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY WIDESPREAD HYDRO CONCERNS IN THE DESERTS...BUT THE NORMALLY FLOOD-PRONE AREAS /THE RED ROCK RANDSBURG ROAD...AND HIGHWAY 14 NEAR RED ROCK CANYON/ COULD SEE SOME LOCAL ROAD FLOODING BY THIS EVENING. ONE AREA OF CONCERN IS THE WESTERN TEHACHAPI MOUNTAINS...WHERE AS CELL OVER NORTHERN VENTURA COUNTY IS DRIFTING NORTHWARD TOWARD FRAZIER PARK AND PINE MOUNTAIN...AND COULD BRING SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN BY 23Z. 21Z TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY RANGED FROM 97 TO 103 DEGREES...WITH BAKERSFIELD AND PORTERVILLE ALREADY MATCHING SATURDAY/S HIGHS. THE 12Z MODELS FORECAST LITTLE CHANGE IN 850-MB TEMPERATURES OR 1000-500-MB THICKNESSES THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY...SO HAVE GONE WITH PERSISTENCE HIGHS. THE PATTERN SLOWLY EVOLVES TUESDAY AS THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH... DROPPING OUT OF THE GULF OF ALASKA...BEGINS TO APPROACH THE COAST. THIS WILL WEAKEN THE RIDGE...AND SET UP A SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR. 850-MB TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO COOL BY 1 C...HAVE GONE WITH A MAINLY 1-2 DEGREE COOLING TREND. ALSO HAVE LOWERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING POPS OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS TO MOSTLY SLIGHT CHANCES. FOR WEDNESDAY...500-MB HEIGHTS CONTINUE TO FALL AS THE TROUGH MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THE 500-MB 5880-METER LINE DROPS FROM NEAR REDDING TUESDAY AFTERNOON TO AT LEAST THE SACRAMENTO DELTA BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...AND IF THE GFS IS RIGHT...DOWN TO SOUTH OF MERCED. HAVE GONE WITH A BIT MORE COOLING WEDNESDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY ZONES...WHERE THE COMBINATION OF MARINE AIR AND SYNOPTIC COOLING COULD LOWER HIGHS TEMPERATURES AT MERCED AND LOS BANOS BY AS MUCH AS 4 DEGREES FROM TUESDAY/S HIGHS. HAVE KEPT THE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS FOR WEDNESDAY...ALTHOUGH IF THE GFS IS RIGHT...THE DEEPER SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT COULD KEEP ANY CONVECTION EAST OF THE HANFORD WARNING/FORECAST AREA. .LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...MODEL CONSISTENCY HAS TAKEN A SLIGHT TURN FOR THE WORSE TODAY FOR THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD. THE LATEST GFS AND EURO ARE AT LEAST SOMEWHAT SIMILAR...THUS THE CURRENT FORECAST IS A BLEND OF THESE TWO SOLUTIONS. THANKS TO SOME DECENT RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY...THE GFS/ECMWF STILL AGREE WITH THE PREVIOUS THINKING THAT OUR PREVAILING FLOW WILL TURN MORE FROM THE SOUTHWEST MID-LATE WEEK...WITH A DRIER AIRMASS SETTLING OVER THE REGION. THIS WILL SPELL THE END OF THE USUAL AFTERNOON/EVENING T-STORMS WE HAVE BEEN SEEING OVER THE MOUNTAINS/DESERT...WITH THE LAST FORECAST OCCURRENCE OF THIS ACTIVITY ON THURSDAY...THEN DRY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CWFA FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. THE CANADIAN KEEPS HIGHER HEIGHTS OVER OUR AREA AND FEATURES A NEGLIGIBLE WESTERLY COMPONENT TO THE FLOW ALOFT. MEANWHILE...THE NOGAPS BEARS NO RESEMBLANCE TO ANY OF THE OTHER MODELS AND IS ALSO HAVE SOME RUN TO RUN INCONSISTENCIES...SO DISREGARDED IT ALTOGETHER. AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES GO...PROGGED 850 TEMPS WOULD INDICATE VALLEY TEMPS REACHING ONLY THE MID-UPPER 90S THROUGH THE PERIOD WHILE MOS GUIDANCE SUGGESTS VALUES STILL NEAR OR JUST TOPPING THE TRIPLE DIGIT MARK...AT LEAST FOR THE NOTORIOUSLY WARMER AREAS. I CHOSE TO GO WITH THE WARMER READINGS CONSIDERING THIS RUT OF ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WE HAVE BEEN STUCK IN. && .AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS ALL AREAS THROUGH AT LEAST 00Z TUESDAY. REFER TO TAFS AT KMCE...KFAT...AND KBFL FOR DETAILS. && .HNX...WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && WWW.WEATHER.GOV/HANFORD /USE ALL LOWER CASE/ SANGER/MYERS
