KEY MESSAGES
1. A cooling trend will set up in the late weekend to early next week with temperatures near average for the time of year.
The is a 10 to 40 percent chance for morning low temperatures below freezing Tuesday morning in the rural areas of the San Joaquin Valley.
2. Nighttime and morning fog, locally dense in the early morning, remains possible each day through next week in the San Joaquin Valley.
3. Next Saturday a system is anticipated to impact the region with a 35 to 75 percent probability of an inch or more of snow for the Sierra Nevada and a 45 to 75 percent probability of measurable rainfall for the San Joaquin Valley.
DISCUSSION
Our local resident rex-block continues over the Desert Southwest and California today before it finally breaks and the upper low lifts out into the Southern Plains. The ridge over the Golden State will be shoved to the southeast over the Grand Canyon State by Sunday from a short wave crashing into the PacNW. That short wave trough digs into the Four-Corners region by Tuesday and the ridge returns to California for brief visit.
Then another wave nudges the ridge along progressively to the east. Then mainly zonal flow through Friday before a stronger upper low moves in for next Saturday.
For today, another in the long string of dense Tule fog for the San Joaquin Valley. Lift out has been right around noon therefore the DFA looks on spot. The afternoon clearing allow for another above normal maximum temperature day for the valley.
The probability of exceeding 65 degrees in the San Joaquin Valley ranges from 35 to 75 percent.
Tonight again the probability of dense fog hits near 100 percent again with the highest probability along Highway 198 from Lemoore to Visalia; Highway 43 from Selma to the intersection with I-5; Highway 99 from Merced down to just north of Bakersfield. No disagreement with the forecast soundings showing the fog profile of a strong inversion, ample surface moisture, drying with height, and light wind through the inversion layer for the recipe of Tule fog. DFA is highly probable again from 06z-19z.
Sunday through Friday with the upper flow moving along more the Tule fog remains possible however the ingredients change a little with a lower inversion and a fairly deep isothermal layer from the model soundings along with some periods of high cloudiness. These all pose scenarios where the fog may not form as quickly or be as dense. There is some hope for a end of the streak of dense fog advisories! This morning is seven straight days in the row, and the record is nine set back in 2019. That record might be in jeopardy before the reprieve.
Next Saturday a trough moves into the region and the run-to-run shows deepening of the wave each run. This increases the probability of precipitation for the San Joaquin Valley and Sierra Nevada. The clusters are having issues in this period with the developing system. Most of the extended is medium confidence however next Saturday is low. The probabilities are fairly high, but the number of members at that range doesn't show the true range of possibilities.
