Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hanford CA 250 PM PDT Thu Oct 22 2020

SYNOPSIS. A significant cooling trend will continue into early next week, with below average temperatures across the area by Saturday and continue through most of next week. There is a possibility of light precipitation in the higher elevations of the Sierra and the Kern county Mountains on Sunday and Sunday night, otherwise it will be dry.

DISCUSSION. Blocking high ridge pattern remains as the dominating weather feature over the West Coast. Yet, because of its position off the Coast, disturbances that have been steered north are now able to influence more of California's weather. First, temperatures have not reach their full heat capacity as California was more on the eastern side of the ridge axis. Second, with cold air able to reach into the Great Basin, the ridge axis is retrograded slight more offshore and paving the way for stronger disturbances to reach Central California.

The first disturbance (currently over British Columbia) is progged to move ashore by the end of the week and begin dropping south over the weekend. The wild-card in the equation is the area of weakness off the Southern California Coast that is progged to be pulled ashore during the disturbances descent southward this weekend. Model precip-water analysis is showing a possible surge eastward of moisture that may help contribute to clouds and even a slight chance of precipitation over the district on Sunday. Model confidence is not great in its potential for precipitation, but, with both the ECMWF and Canadian maintaining their analysis showing post-frontal precipitation along the east-side (including the mountains) and south-end of the valley more several model runs supports the inclusion of precipitation over the favored areas. In addition, due to how dry the atmosphere is in its current state, will not expect any significant precipitation amounts. Even with a stronger disturbance rolling through the region, moisture will be lacking as storm total precipitation may range from 0.05 to around 0.10 of an inch. A few isolated spots could reach 0.25 of an inch. Furthermore, snow levels could lower to near 6000 feet as more cold air filters into the region during the storm. While some high elevation snow could reach up to 2 inches, generally, snow amounts during the storm will range from a trace to around 1 inch.

After the storm, clearing will begin on Monday evening as the disturbance reaches the Desert Southwest. Model consensus is to have the have the upper level disturbance center over Yuma, AZ by Monday night and shifting further east on Tuesday. This trajectory will allow for a +100 Knot jet max to shift over California on Monday. The jet max is expected to drop southwestward from Northern Nevada and sit over the Sierra Nevada Range by the start of next week. Current timing has the jet max over Yosemite on Monday and shifting due south toward Mt. Whitney on Tuesday. With the continued dry environment over the region, the easterly winds will support further drying and lead toward critical fire conditions. Therefore, issued a Fire Weather Watch for both Monday and Tuesday during the time of strongest upper level winds across the mountain range. In the long term, models show the ridge pattern returning by midweek as the regions returns to a dry environment with possible warming temperatures.

AVIATION. IFR visibilities due to smoke and haze are likely in the Sierra Nevada through at least the next 24 hours. VFR conditions will otherwise prevail over the central California interior during the next 24 hours.

FIRE WEATHER. By Late Sunday Night, an upper level disturbance dropping into the region from due North will introduce a strong jet stream with a Northeast to Southwest orientation. These Northeasterly winds could reach speeds of 20-30 mph with gusts to 40 mph over the much of the Sierra Nevada/Tehachapi Range on Monday and Tuesday. Along with the strong winds, poor humidity recovery will exist across the region to elevate the fire danger to Critical levels over Central California.

AIR QUALITY ISSUES. On Thursday October 22 2020 . Unhealthy for sensitive groups in Fresno, Kern and Madera Counties and Sequoia National Park and Forest. Further information is available at Valleyair.org
