.SYNOPSIS...Cold temperatures and dry conditions will prevail 
across the region through Wednesday with sub-freezing morning lows
across the San Joaquin Valley, before moderating later this week.
A weak storm system may bring precipitation to the area on 
Sunday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...In the wake of the cold winter storm which brought
light precipitation to much of our area on Monday, a drier 
airmass is slowly pushing southward into our area. Fog imagery is 
indicating some low clouds are banked up along the south end and 
east side of the San Joaquin Valley as well as over the valley 
facing slopes of the Tehachapi Mountains and the Sierra Foothills
in Tulare County. A few patches of fog have been observed in the 
center portion of the San Joaquin Valley, but with the direr 
airmass continuing to push into our area do not expect widespread
dense fog this morning. 

The main concern for our area through Wednesday will be sub-
freezing minimum temepratures in the San Joaquin Valley as most 
rural locations in the valley are expected to have lows in the 
upper 20s today and near 30 DEG F on Wednesday. A Freeze Warning 
remains in effect for the San Joaquin Valley until 900 am PST 
Wednesday. Some airmass moderation is expected to take place later
in the week as the latest NBM probabilistic guidance is 
indicating that most the the San Joaquin Valley has a less than 10
percent chance of sub-freezing morning temperatures on Thursday. 

The medium range ensemble means are still indicating a pair of 
troughs moving eastward through the PAC NW and Norcal later on in
the period. The first one will bring a slight chance of 
precipitation to Merced County and the Yosemite Park area 
Thursday night and Friday. Shortwave ridging will follow on 
Friday night and Saturday before a strong system moving north of 
our area brings a chance of precipitation to areas north of Kern 
County Saturday night and Sunday. A cooler and drier airmass is 
progged to build into our area early next week behind the second 
system.
