Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hanford CA Issued by National Weather Service Sacramento CA 124 PM PDT Tue Oct 3 2023
SYNOPSIS
A warming trend is expected through the remainder of the week ahead and into the weekend, with well above normal temperatures anticipated. Dry weather prevails for most through Sunday, with precipitation chances returning early next week across northern portions of the forecast area.
DISCUSSION
As of early this afternoon, latest GOES-West satellite imagery shows clear skies across the region. Resultant temperatures throughout the Valley are already pushing the upper 70s to 80s. The remainder of the day will see high temperatures climbing a few more degrees, but should settle in the upper 70s to mid 80s throughout the Valley and 50s to 60s over the mountains.
The upper level pattern looks to remain relatively stagnant throughout the week ahead and into the weekend. A persistent upper level ridge is expected to build in over the Pacific Northwest, leading to increasing heights over central California. This will result in a warming and drying trend across the region. Latest NBM probabilities of exceeding 90F are in the 60-80% range on Thursday and Friday throughout the Valley and foothills, rising to 70-90% chance on Saturday. Cluster analysis then depicts some troughing off the coast of the Pacific Northwest that will work to push the ridge westward Sunday into early next week. At the very least, this will work to cool temperatures closer to normal. Depending on the trajectory of the troughing, there may be some increasing potential for precipitation chances over portions of the northern forecast area as well.
AVIATION
VFR conditions and light winds, generally less than 10 kts, are expected to prevail at all TAF sites through the forecast period.
AIR QUALITY ISSUES
None.
CERTAINTY
The level of certainty for days 1 and 2 is high.
