SYNOPSIS. A potent storm will continue over the region. Heavy lower elevation rain along with heavy snow over the mountains above 5,000 feet will be observed during the storms passage. The storm will persist into Friday when precipitation will begin to taper off. Very strong winds will accompany this storm and buffet parts of the San Joaquin Valley through this evening. Another system will bring precipitation throughout Central California by early next week.
DISCUSSION. A persistent band of moderate precipitation continues mainly in Fresno County and northward towards Merced and Mariposa Counties. Otherwise, light showers are occurring elsewhere. Gusty south to southeast winds are also impacting portions of the Central Valley, Tehachapi Mountains, and the West Side Hills. The band of precipitation has moved northward a bit since this morning, based on latest radar data. Expect the windy conditions to continue until tonight. Also, minor street flooding has been reported in some areas today, including where the heavier rain has fallen. Snow levels will likely rise to 5,000 feet by tonight and have been gradually rising through the day today.
Precipitation is expected to last until at least Friday morning, while the heavier precipitation gradually moves southward during Thursday. Precipitation will be mainly showery on Thursday and Friday, at least in the San Joaquin Valley and lower elevations. Snow levels will likely remain steady at around 5,000 feet or just above on Thursday into Friday, including in the Sierra Nevada to the Kern County mountains. Forecast rain and snow amounts for these days are impressive and could cause additional impacts. As we progress with this system, impacts include, but are not limited to, ponding of water on roadways, fallen trees, rocks rolling onto roads, and heavy snow covering roadways in the higher elevations.
Below average temperatures will prevail until Friday as a result of the precipitation, before warming slightly over the weekend into Monday. A weak system is possible towards Merced County and Yosemite on Saturday, so there is a slight chance of precipitation on that day. Otherwise, dry conditions will return for the weekend.
Confidence regarding next week's weather is medium. However, precipitation amounts will likely be lower than with the current system. The storm will arrive late Sunday evening towards the northern portion of our forecast area, or mainly Merced and Mariposa Counties. By Monday afternoon, the system will move southward, including into Kern County. Once precipitation arrives, temperatures will likely fall back to slightly below seasonal averages. Showers will continue until at least Tuesday morning before tapering off by the afternoon or evening. Additional precipitation will likely occur in the form of rain below 6,000 feet initially on Sunday night into Monday, but the snow level will lower to around 5,000 feet by Tuesday morning. Snow levels will continue to fall through the day on Tuesday, although the bulk of the precipitation will have already occurred. It appears dry weather will return by the middle of next week, though with continued cool temperatures.
AVIATION. In the San Joaquin Valley and West Side Hills, strong southerly winds will be possible until 03Z Thursday with gusts reaching 35-50 KT in Merced County and along the West Side Hills. Areas of MVFR in low clouds and rain with local IFR in heavy rain over at least the next 24 hours. In the Sierra Nevada, adjacent foothills and the Tehachapi Mountains, gusty winds, areas of MVFR and local mountain obscuring IFR in low clouds becoming widespread mountain obscuring IFR in moderate to heavy precipitation and low clouds for at least the next 24 hours. Strong southerly winds with gusts around 50-60 KT over the Grapevine and Tehachapi Mountains are expected until late tonight. In the Kern County desert areas, areas of MVFR visibility in rain.
