  .DISCUSSION... 
  After record warmth across several locations most of the CENCAL  
  interior yesterday, we are forecasting a frontal band to move  
  through the region later today and tonight. Light precip is  
  possible in Merced and is forecast to remain confined mainly  
  north of Fresno County. Models have backed off the timing and  
  intensity of forecast precip with this event.  
   
  We have cancelled the winter weather advisory for Kings Canyon   
  National park as well as Sierra National Forrest. Model output  
  for snow is not meeting the required 6 inches for 24 hours 
  advisory criteria. The NAM is washing out the front across the 
  valley and focusing on upslope dynamics overnight for period of 
  moderate snow. We have trimmed the QPF back to near 0 across the  
  SJV south of Fresno county. The front is slow to move through and  
  will keep clouds across the region tonight and most of tomorrow  
  before moving east of the region.  
   
  We are expecting clouds to build up along the foothills and 
  especially the south valley on Wed as the front pushes through. We 
  are not expecting much in the way of wind in Kern county, as this 
  system does not have much energy with it. We could see some 
  drizzle in the south valley due to upslope clouds. The models are 
  generating some QPF in the south valley, eventhough the amounts  
  are light. 
   
  A secondary trough will follow right behind the front on Thursday 
  bringing in some freezing temperatures across the SJV on Friday 
  and Saturday mornings with plenty of frost around. A gradual 
  warming trend is in store for the weekend as mid level ridging 
  will allow for temperatures to increase over the weekend with 
  continued dry conditions into early next week.
