Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hanford CA 141 AM PST Fri Jan 24 2020

SYNOPSIS. Dense fog is expected to form again this morning across the San Joaquin Valley, as well as tomorrow morning. Valley rain and mountain snow possible Sunday across the northern portion of the forecast area. Dry weather pattern resumes later next week as another ridge of high pressure builds.

DISCUSSION. High clouds passing through the district this morning as an embedded impulse progresses through. As the morning continues, clearing should occur, allowing for additional radiational cooling. High resolution model guidance is showing another round of dense fog forming across the San Joaquin Valley later this morning. Therefore, a Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until noon today for a majority of the San Joaquin Valley. Ridge builds again over Central California throughout the day today and tomorrow, which should allow for above average afternoon high temps in the low 60s. Conditions tomorrow morning should also be conducive to fog formation under the building ridge, so more fog highlights are likely for Saturday morning.

By Sunday a trough will impact the west coast bringing a chance of precip across the northern portion of the forecast area. Model guidance is showing the bulk of the precip being well north of our area, so the rainfall totals across the valley and snowfall totals in the Sierra Nevada will be limited. Projected totals of less than one-tenth of an inch of rain and only a few inches of snow, mainly above 7,000 feet, are forecast to occur. Gradients will tighten Sunday, leading to gusty winds especially in Kern County. Wind gusts may approach Advisory level on Sunday afternoon/evening just below the Kern County Mountain Passes.

Zonal flow aloft transitioning to another ridging pattern is forecast to occur next week. This will lead to another period of dry weather across the forecast area, and morning valley fog may accompany the aforementioned ridging aloft next week.

AVIATION. LIFR conditions in fog and stratus are likely at MCE, MER, FAT, VIS, and BFL through 20z Friday. Mountain obscuration possible over the Sierra Nevada through 13z Friday. Otherwise VFR conditions expected elsewhere over the next 24 hours.

AIR QUALITY ISSUES. On Friday January 24 2020 . Fireplace/Wood Stove Burning Status is: No Burning Unless Registered in Fresno and Kern Counties. Further information is available at Valleyair.org

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.
