KEY MESSAGES
1. A Wind Advisory will be in effect from 2 PM this afternoon through 11 PM this evening for the Mojave Desert Slopes and the Kern County Desert with wind gusts up to 50 mph.
2. A Wind Advisory is in effect along the higher terrain adjacent to the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, the San Joaquin Valley in mainly Merced and Madera Counties, and the Sierra Nevada foothills in mainly Madera and Mariposa Counties from this afternoon until this evening/early Saturday morning.
3. There is a 50-70% chance of major Winter Storm impacts in the Sierra Nevada this weekend.
4. A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect for the Sierra Nevada later this morning through Sunday afternoon. Badger Pass and Lake Wishon have a 90% chance of at least 18 inches of new snow with this event.
5. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the Kern County mountains above 5,000 feet from this afternoon until Sunday. Pine Mountain Club has around a 35% chance of at least 6 inches of new snow with this event.
DISCUSSION
Relatively quiet weather prevails for now, but the incoming low pressure system remains on track to arrive in our forecast area later today. Gusty winds, rain, and mountain snow begin by this afternoon in our northern areas. Gusty winds will redevelop in the desert areas of eastern Kern County by this afternoon, so we have issued another Wind Advisory to cover this next portion of the wind event. In addition, winds will pick up this afternoon in the hills/mountains adjacent to the west side of the San Joaquin Valley and in the Madera County and Merced County portions, as well as the Sierra Nevada foothills in Madera and Mariposa Counties. So, we have a Wind Advisory in effect for these areas from this afternoon until late this evening/early Saturday morning. Otherwise, precipitation will spread southward, including as far as Kern County beginning later this afternoon.
Overall, expect moderate impacts with this weekend’s system, except there is a good chance (up to 70 percent chance) for major impacts due to heavy snow in the higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada. Also, we’re still seeing around a 70 to 90 percent chance of a total 18 inches or greater of snow accumulations for later today until Sunday in quite a few Sierra Nevada locations. The chances for 0.25 inch of rain throughout the San Joaquin Valley later today into Saturday will be around 50 to 75 percent. Rain amounts in the foothills into the lower Sierra Nevada have anywhere from a 40 to around a 70 percent chance of at least one inch of rain by Saturday morning. Snow levels will range from about 4,000 to 5,000 feet for the duration of the storm, although the heaviest amounts will fall mainly from 5,000 feet and above in the Sierra Nevada and Kern County mountains.
There is a slight chance for thunderstorms on Saturday afternoon and evening as the atmosphere will be colder and more unstable.
On Saturday night into Easter Sunday, enough instability and residual moisture will produce a continued chance of showers, although precipitation will become more gradual. There remains a low (up to 20 percent) chance of a dusting of snow on the Grapevine, mainly from the Kern County line to around Lebec, for Saturday night into Sunday morning. Otherwise, cooler than normal temperatures will close out the month.
A relatively quiet weather pattern occurs for the first part of next week, or on Monday through Wednesday. A weak system arrives later next week and brings a slight chance for precipitation to mainly the Sierra Nevada on Thursday until Friday of next week.
AVIATION
VFR conditions will prevail across Central California for at least the next 24 hours.
