UPDATED AIR QUALITY SECTION


SYNOPSIS
High temperatures today in the San Joaquin Valley will be in the high 50s to the low 60s, which is right around normal for this time of year. These temperatures will remain consistent through the weekend before beginning to warm mid-week. The western San Joaquin valley could see dense fog tonight into tomorrow morning and tomorrow night into Sunday morning.

DISCUSSION
The trough that brought some light rain to our forecast area yesterday is moving eastward and out of the area. Any remnant precipitation with it was seen early this morning and cloud cover will diminish through the day. Temperatures today will hover near normal, and be in the high 50s to low 60s throughout most of the San Joaquin Valley.

Currently, model guidance wavers but has medium confidence - a 30% chance - in the development of dense fog (areas at 1/4 mile visibility or less) in the western San Joaquin Valley tonight into tomorrow morning and tomorrow night into Sunday morning. Areas that could see impacts are Merced, Madera, Visalia, Hanford, and other fog prone locations. Additionally, Highways 41, 43, 180, 198, and 99 would also see reduced visibilities due to fog.

Temperatures for Saturday and Sunday will have a near 80% chance or more of seeing very similar temperatures to today as northwesterly flow aloft continues through the weekend, bringing dry conditions as well. On Monday, temperatures will raise slightly as an upper level ridge begins building over the state.

The upper level ridge will continue eastward into the desert southwest Tuesday and Wednesday. Warmer temperatures are projected over the forecast area as a result of the subsidence aloft.
Maximum afternoon temperatures in the mid to upper 60s will be present during the midweek; temperatures could approach 70 degrees in the Central Valley and desert regions of the CWA Wednesday afternoon, around ten degrees warmer than normal. In addition, the ridging system is expected to bring clear, dry conditions to the forecast area.

An approaching upper level trough towards the end of the week will result in a cooling trend into the weekend as flow aloft shifts to the southwest. Saturated air from the eastern Pacific Ocean will move over the region as well, bringing a slight chance for snowfall in the higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada.


AVIATION
MVFR or lower conditions are possible if fog and/or mist develops in the San Joaquin Valley. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail across the Central California interior for the next 24 hours.
