Weather forecast office sourcewfo_sourceMesonet
Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA flat upper-level ridge continued over California through the second week of January, keeping temperatures near to above normal. From January 5th to the 15th, Fresno had 9 days with highs in the mid 60s. Temperatures in the south end of the San Joaquin Valley were less consistent, as episodes of downslope winds warmed highs into the lower to mid 70s.||An upper-level low over the eastern Pacific spun high clouds over California, while at the surface, high pressure dropping into the Great Basin brought an off- shore flow to the region on the 11th-12th. Once again, winds funneling through the passes of the Tehachapi Mountains warmed the south end of the San Joaquin Valley, with temperatures reaching the lower 60s around 1:30 AM. Bakersfield stayed warm all day, reaching a high of 68 degrees on the 12th.||Dry low-level air moved into the San Joaquin Valley on January 16th. With mostly clear skies and light winds, the stage was set for the second significant freeze event of this winter. Low temperatures around the central and southern San Joaquin Valley were mostly in the 20s on the 17th, with a few spots falling into the upper teens. Below freezing temperatures continued through the morning of January 19th, and a few stations dropped to critical temperatures during the morning of the 20th.
