| episode_narrative | Weak ridging returned to the area by the 20th, with dry, but relatively cool, conditions throughout the central California interior during the next few days. However, by February 24th, the next storm was approaching the California coast and weakening the ridge. Precipitation associated with this storm reached the region late on the 25th, with rain continuing into the 26th. Heavy rain caused some flooding in the south end iof the San Joaquin Valley, with road flooding reported as far north as the Lamont area. This was a cold storm system, bringing measurable snowfall to the foothills along the Southern Sierra Nevada and the mountains along the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. A half inch of snow fell at Granite Station in the foothills of the Kern County Sierra Nevada, at an elevation of 2600 feet. The higher elevations of the Southern Sierra Nevada received up to 3 feet with this storm. During the daytime of the 26th, trace amounts of snow were even observed in some areas of the San Joaquin Valley, including Delano, Taft, Coalinga, Arvin, and some locations near Bakersfield.|The end of the month remained cooler than average, with low temperatures falling to freezing or below due to the residual cold air behind the previous system. On the 27th, some locations, mainly north of Kern County, had minimum temperatures as low as the mid to upper 20s. Lows the next morning were a couple of degrees warmer, but were 32 degrees or colder in several locations.|In summary, February began dry and cool, followed by periods of mild temperatures throughout the central California interior. Until the middle of the month, there was no rain reported in Fresno and Bakersfield, and significant rain and snow did not occur throughout the region until the latter half of the month. Temperatures were cooler than average during this part of the month due to repeated influxes of cold air. Frosty to freezing conditions occurred at times throughout the central and southern San Joaquin Valley, especially during the last two days of the month. |
