FXUS66 KHNX 081814 AFDHNX
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hanford CA 1014 AM PST Sat Feb 8 2025
KEY MESSAGES
1. Cooler and drier weather is expected for the weekend into the early portion of next week. This is a 30 to 60 percent chance of freezing temperatures in the San Joaquin Valley each morning from Sunday through Tuesday and a Freeze Warning has been issued as a result.
2. Rain and snow returns by the middle of next week into the weekend. There is high confidence that this storm system will be much wetter and colder than average.
DISCUSSION
This morning, areas of tule fog and stratus greeted us thus keeping us in the upper 30s to lower 40s. The stratus and fog is slowly but surely burning off leading to clear conditions this afternoon and evening. However, the clear skies will help bring temperatures to around freezing with 30 to 60 percent chance of freezing temperatures Sunday through Tuesday morning necessitating a Freeze Warning.
This cold air is being brought in due to the exit of the trough that brought us rain this week. However, model ensembles have become more in agreement about a strong trough starting to slide in late Tuesday night into Wednesday and will persist through Thursday before another trough slides in Thursday through Friday. Ensembles have also greatly become in agreement regarding the strength and the landfall target of an atmospheric river with this trough. The ensembles now have a 70 to 90 percent chance of an Integrated Water Vapor Transport of at least 250 kg/(m*s) hitting Southern California Thursday through Friday.
This atmospheric river is currently having good probabilities of rain and snow to the area. The Valley has a 45 to 65 percent chance of an inch and a half or more of rain with this storm.
The foothills have a 35 to 75 percent chance of 3 inches or more of rain total in this storm. The amount of rainfall expected elevates the risk of flooding and mudslides in several of burn scars that Flood products may be issued in coming days. In the Sierra Nevada, we are looking at snow levels to go from 3,500 feet on Wednesday morning to 6,000 feet on Thursday afternoon and back down by Friday afternoon leading to a 70 to 90 percent chance of 36 inches or more of snow above 6,500 feet with higher totals above 9,000 feet. The probabilities will, however, change as we get closer to the storm but, confidence is high this far out that it will be wetter and colder than average. After this storm, the CPC outlooks show a huge shift from having a 40 to 50 percent chance of below average temperatures and a 50 to 70 percent chance of above average precipitation in the 6 to 10 day outlook to a 33 to 40 percent chance of below average precipitation and equal chances of above and below average temperatures in the 8 to 14 day outlook.
AVIATION
18Z Update:
In the San Joaquin Valley, Areas of MVFR to IFR through 21Z due to stratus below 1000 ft and patchy fog. MVFR to IFR conditions return between 6Z and 9Z to portions of the Valley. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail throughout the Central CA interior for the next 24 hours.
