AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HANFORD CA
855 AM PDT WED JUN 8 2005
.SHORT TERM...FOR THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR...LATEST
88-DOPPLER RADAR IMAGES SHOWING A LARGE PRECIP SHIELD PROGRESSING
SLOWLY TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST. THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE SHIELD IS
NOW IMPINGING ON OUR FORECAST AREA...AND LIGHT RAIN WAS REPORTED AT
MERCED LAST HOUR. HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST TO INCLUDE MORNING
PRECIP WORDING...ALTHOUGH I THINK QUITE A FEW PLACES WONT RECEIVE
MEASURABLE RAINFALL. WITH THAT SAID...MODESTO REPORTED 0.01 INCH
LAST HOUR AND HIGHER REFLECTIVITIES WERE MOVING INTO THE MERCED
AREA. EARLIER VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGES FROM THIS MORNING SHOWED A
DISTINCT CLOUD LINE MOVING SOUTH ACROSS THE CWA...ALTHOUGH RECENT
PICS SHOW THE CLOUDS BREAKING UP AND DISPERSING. PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
PREVIOUSLY IN THE FORECAST ARE ON TRACK...EXCEPT OVER THE MOUNTAINS
WHERE SKIES ARE MOSTLY CLOUDY/OVERCAST.
WINDS CONTINUE TO HOWL IN THE KERN CO. MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS, WITH
POPPY PARK AND JAWBONE RAWS STATIONS REPORTING GUSTS OVER 40 MPH THE
PAST FEW HOURS. WILL NOT TOUCH THE WIND ADVISORY BEGINNING AT NOON
TODAY AS GRADIENTS ARE PROGGED TO INCREASE AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. I
WILL CONSIDER EXTENDING IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON
WITH THE AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE. ETA 30 METER WINDS SHOW
INCREASING WINDS THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT OVER THE KERN
MOUNTAINS/DESERTS...WITH A SLIGHT DECREASE IN THE PRE-DAWN
HOURS...BUT PICKING BACK UP AGAIN AS THURSDAY UNFOLDS.
FORECAST TEMPERATURES ARE ON TRACK WITH GUIDANCE...SO WILL NOT
UPDATE AT THIS TIME.
.LONG TERM...FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY...THE MEDIUM-RANGE MODELS ARE IN SOME AGREEMENT FOR SATURDAY
WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW IN THE GULF OF ALASKA AND SHORT-WAVE TROUGHS
CONTINUING TO ROTATE AROUND IT. THE NEXT SHORT-WAVE IS FORECAST TO
MOVE INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO THE GREAT
BASIN SATURDAY. THE ECMWF/UKMET ARE A BIT DEEPER WITH THIS TROUGH
THAN THE GFS...BUT THE TIMING OF THE SHORT-WAVE IS SIMILAR.
MODEL DIFFERENCES BECOME EVIDENT SUNDAY...WITH THE GFS BEING THE MOST
PROGRESSIVE WITH THE TROUGH...WITH THE DGEX AND ECMWF A BIT SLOWER...
WHILE THE UKMET IS SLOWEST WITH THE TROUGH OVER THE FOUR-CORNERS
REGION. BEHIND THE TROUGH...THE GFS AND DGEX HAVE A NORTHWEST FLOW
OVER CALIFORNIA...WHILE THE ECMWF TRIES TO DEVELOP A SHORT-WAVE RIDGE
OVER THE STATE.
THE GFS BRINGS ANOTHER THROUGH TO CALIFORNIA MONDAY...PERSISTING
INTO TUESDAY. THE ECMWF DOES NOT BRING THE NEXT TROUGH TO THE WEST
COAST UNTIL TUESDAY...BUT IT HAS A SHARPER TROUGH THAN THE GFS.
WITH THE MODELS ALL GOING FOR GENERAL TROUGHINESS OVER THE CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA INTERIOR THROUGH MUCH OF THE LONG-TERM FORECAST PERIOD...
EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.
CONSENSUS AMONG NEIGHBORING WFO/S IS TO KEEP DAYS 4-7 DRY FOR NOW...
DEPENDING ON HOW THE PATTERN EVOLVES.
