Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hanford CA 851 AM PST Mon Nov 29 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Patchy, dense fog is possible in the western portion of the San Joaquin Valley, north of Kern County, late tonight into Tuesday morning. High temperatures will remain above their typical values for late November and early December, peaking at around ten degrees above normal each afternoon Wednesday through Friday. Dry weather will persist through at least Sunday night, if not longer. && .DISCUSSION... Patchy, dense fog is conceivable in the western part of the San Joaquin Valley, north of Kern County, late tonight into Tuesday morning. A cyclone aloft will remain just offshore of the Baja Peninsula this week. Farther north, an upper-level area of high pressure will be centered near Northern California this week. This is what is called a Rex Block pattern, which results in very little fluctuations in the day to day weather. High temperatures throughout Central California Tuesday afternoon will be six to eight degrees above normal for this time of year. Maximum temperatures across Central California Wednesday afternoon, Thursday afternoon, and Friday afternoon will be around ten degrees above their typical values for the beginning of December. The aforementioned cyclone aloft should move to the east-northeast into the Desert Southwest late this week into the upcoming weekend. Be that at it may, that upper-level area of low pressure will be replaced by another cyclone aloft in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, reinforcing the Rex Block pattern in place. A downward temperature trend is expected Saturday through Monday. Despite this trend, high temperatures throughout Central California Sunday afternoon and Monday afternoon will be around five degrees above normal for this time of year. Dry weather will persist through at least Sunday night. && .AVIATION... VFR conditions will prevail across Central California through at least 05z. MVFR visibilities are likely in the San Joaquin Valley after 05z due to fog. Patchy, dense fog is possible in the western portion of the San Joaquin Valley, north of Kern County after 12z, which would result in LIFR conditions. && .AIR QUALITY ISSUES...

Fireplace/wood stove burning status is: no burning unless registered in Kings, Madera, Merced, and Tulare Counties. No burning for all in Fresno and Kern Counties.
