AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HANFORD CA
830 AM PDT FRI JUN 17 2005
.SHORT TERM...FOR THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR...ATYPICAL LATE
SPRING PATTERN CONTINUES WITH A DEEP UPPER LOW OFF THE OREGON COAST
AND ASSOCIATED TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. THE UPSHOT OF THIS
HAS BEEN TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW WHAT WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED FOR
MID JUNE ALONG WITH SOME LIGHT SHOWERS OVER THE VALLEY AND ADJACENT
SIERRA NEVADA. EVEN HAD A REPORT OF LIGHT SNOW UP AT TUOLUMNE
MEADOWS IN YOSEMITE THIS MORNING. AFTERNOON SATPIX SHOW THE LOW
DROPPING SOUTH CONSISTENT WITH MODEL PROJECTIONS AND THIS TREND
SHOULD CONTINUE OVERNIGHT, ALBEIT MORE SLOWLY. IN FACT, THE UPPER
LOW IS EXPECTED TO STALL OUT JUST WEST OF THE CA/OR BORDER
TOMORROW, WITH A NUMBER OF SMALL EMBEDDED IMPULSES TRACKING ACROSS
THE NORTHERN FA THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. HATE TO COMPLETELY DROP THE
MENTION OF SHOWERS FROM ABOUT FRESNO NORTH THROUGH THIS TIME FRAME
WITH SUCH A PATTERN (AND WONT), ALTHOUGH REST ASSURED THAT
ANY AMOUNTS WILL BARELY BE MEASURABLE. BEST CHANCES FOR ANYTHING OF
REAL SUBSTANCE WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE HIGH COUNTRY NORTH OF KINGS
CANYON. OTHERWISE, EXPECT CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS ESPECIALLY IN
UPSLOPE-FAVORED AREAS SUCH AS THE FOOTHILLS/MOUNTAINS AND THE FAR
SOUTHERN VALLEY AREAS. THE UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO BEGIN TO WOBBLE
WEST AND WEAKEN ON SUNDAY IN RESPONSE TO STRENGTHENING HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE CENTRAL U.S., SO HAVE CONFINED POPS TO ONLY THE SIERRA
NEVADA ZONE 96 AS THE COMBINATION OF UPSLOPE AND INSTABILITY SHOULD
PROVE SUFFICIENT ONLY THERE. THE CENTRAL U.S. RIDGE WILL BUILD A BIT
FARTHER WEST BY THE BEGINNING OF THE WORK WEEK, FORCING THE WEST
COAST UPPER TROUGH EVEN FARTHER OUT TO SEA, THUS ENDING OUR PRECIP
CHANCES ENTIRELY HERE. EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN BELOW CLIMO
THROUGH THIS PERIOD, ALTHOUGH A RECOVERY TOWARDS THAT DIRECTION IS
INEVITABLE THROUGH THE PERIOD.
.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS
ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT FOR MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD...WITH THE
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR BETWEEN AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW WEST OF THE
CALIFORNIA/OREGON BORDER AND AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST. THE RIDGE IS FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN THROUGH MIDWEEK...
THEN WEAKEN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS THE TROUGH DEEPENS AND MOVES OVER
CALIFORNIA. THIS WILL BRING DRY AND WARMER WEATHER TO THE HANFORD
WARNING/FORECAST AREA...WITH TEMPERATURES RISING INTO THE MID 90S BY
THURSDAY. MAY SEE AN ISOLATED 100 IN THE HOTTEST VALLEY LOCATIONS
THURSDAY...BUT FRESNO AND BAKERSFIELD WILL NOT SEE TRIPLE DIGITS.
BOTH CITIES ARE EXPECTING THEIR LATEST 1ST 100-DEGREE DAY SINCE 1999
WHEN FRESNO FINALLY BROKE 100 ON JUNE 23RD...AND BAKERSFIELD NOT
UNTIL 6 DAYS LATER. /THE RECORD LATEST 1ST 100-DEGREE DAY FOR BOTH
CITIES WAS JULY 16TH 1998./
AS THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS WESTWARD...THE UPPER-LEVEL LOW IS
FORECAST TO LIFT NORTHEAST INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA WEDNESDAY. THE LOW
IS FORECAST TO DROP SOUTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...BRINGING COOLER
TEMPERATURES...BUT NO PRECIPITATION...TO THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
INTERIOR.

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY. THE
PRIMARY CONCERN WILL BE UPSLOPE STRATOCUMULUS OVER THE SOUTH END OF
