Area Discussion for - San Joaquin Valley/Hanford, CA

      (on/off)   Help   NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition

Fxus66 khnx 201148 afdhnx area forecast discussion national weather service san joaquin valley - hanford ca 448 am pdt Sat apr 20 2019 Synopsis A low pressure system will drop into the central california interior from the northwest today. This will bring a chance of mainly mountain showers through tonight, with the possibility of sierra thunderstorms this afternoon. Low pressure aloft will then set up over the great basin on Sunday and Monday for an offshore flow and warming temperatures. Discussion A weak upper level low is moving east away from kern county as an upper trough begins to swing inland along the northwest coast. Satellite imagery shows increasing mid and high clouds beginning to encroach on our northern areas while radar indicates spotty showers over northern ca, associated with the incoming trough. Models prog the trough to push through central ca today and despite limited accompanying moisture there will be a chance for showers, mainly over the mountain zones. As the cooler air aloft moves overhead and instability increases, isolated thunderstorms can not be ruled out over the sierra nevada later this afternoon, mainly north of tulare county. Expect increasing gusty west northwest winds with the passing trough, especially through and below mountain passes. With many locations expected to experience gusts around 50 mph in the kern county mountains and desert areas, a wind advisory is in effect there this afternoon through tonight. The incoming trough will also knock off around 10 to 15 degrees from yesterday's unseasonably warm high temps. MAX t's today will be within a couple of degrees of climo. The trough is forecast to close of an upper low near the great basin area by tonight, which will drift slowly toward southern nevada Sunday and Sunday night.

We could see a few lingering sierra showers Sunday on the edge of this low pressure area. Expect continued seasonable temperatures Sunday under the troughy pattern. Monday through midweek will be dry as high pressure builds behind the exiting trough. The transition between the departing low and the building ridge will bring a gusty northeasterly flow on Monday. Temperatures will rebound significantly under the building ridge. By Wednesday and Thursday, highs will reach as much as 15 to 20 degrees above climo. The ridge will weaken by the end of next week, although models are not in agreement with the details of the evolving pattern. Expect a slight decrease in temperatures but still above normal for the end of next week. As we experience the well above normal temperatures during the upcoming week, snow melt will increase and rivers and streams will become more dangerous with fast flowing very cold water. Aviation For the southern sierra nevada from yosemite south to the tulare county mountains: expect ifr conditions,mountain obscurations, and precipitation with isolated thunderstorms from noon through about 8 pm pdt today. For the kern county mountains and desert: expect west to northwesterly wind gusts of 55 mph becoming likely from 3 pm pdt today until about 1 am pdt Sunday. Additionally, ifr conditions and mountain obscurations expected today in the kern county mountains from noon until about midnight. Otherwise,VFR conditions will prevail at mce, mer, fat, vis, and bfl for the next 24 hours. Air quality issues None. 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

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
