Area Forecast Discussion UPDATED National Weather Service Hanford CA 509 PM PST Fri Feb 26 2021
. Air Quality Issues Section Updated .
SYNOPSIS. Conditions will become breezy to windy and a little cooler Saturday as a storm system skirts by to our east. Continued dry and trending warmer Sunday and Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday will bring the potential for wet weather, but confidence remains low.
DISCUSSION. A dry northwesterly flow continues over the region while a shortwave trough is dropping southeast toward the Great Basin area. This is providing central California with mainly sunny skies and temperatures on track to top out a bit above climo this afternoon. As the trough continues its southeastward trek, westerly winds are expected to increase through and below mountain passes in Kern county later this afternoon and evening. A Wind Advisory has been issued there from 5 pm through 11 PM tonight.
Models drop additional shortwave energy into the Great Basin region Saturday, bringing more breezy conditions and a slight cooldown, but continued dry. Blended model guidance indicates wind gusts will likely exceed 35 mph along the west side of the San Joaquin Valley and the West Side Hills tomorrow. A Wind Advisory will be in effect there from 8 AM through 9 PM Saturday. By Saturday night a relatively strong offshore surface pressure gradient is likely to develop and this could produce some significant gusty northeasterly winds over the Sierra zones. For the Sierra north of Kern County and the foothill areas north of Tulare County, our blended model guidance suggests a chance of seeing wind gusts in excess of 45 mph. There is a slight chance that we can see gusts approaching 60 mph over the crest and higher ridges. These wind gusts are forecast to peak between midnight and 4 AM Sunday morning. A Wind Advisory will be in effect for these areas from 10 PM Saturday through 10 AM Sunday.
By Sunday, models agree on a brief period of shortwave ridging ahead of a developing northeast Pacific trough. This will mean continued dry conditions with warming temperatures, and by Monday, we can expect afternoon highs around 4-8 degrees above seasonal averages. Beyond Monday, forecast uncertainty remains rather high, but latest model runs are somewhat more convergent on some manifestation of a closed low developing offshore of central California by early Tuesday and swinging inland to our south sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday night. None of the solutions suggest a significant chance for precipitation, and our forecast currently calls for just a slight chance for mountain showers Monday night into Tuesday.
There is general model consensus on dry and warming conditions for the second half of the week, under ridging and increasing southwesterly flow ahead of another developing northeast Pacific trough. After near normal temperatures on Tuesday, highs should trend upward, possibly climbing to around ten degrees above normal by Friday.
AVIATION. VFR conditions will prevail throughout central California over the next 24 hours. Expect wind gusts over 40 knots through and below Kern County mountain passes this evening and around 35 knots along the west side of the San Joaquin Valley and over the West Side Hills after 15Z Saturday
AIR QUALITY ISSUES. None.
