| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A warm airmass moved into California on December 17th, ahead of the next storm. Lows in the central and southern San Joaquin Valley were several degrees above normal. Fresno���s low on the 17th was 52 degrees, tying the record high minimum temperature for the date.||A potent winter storm reached the central California interior on December 18th. This storm brought strong winds to the region, with gusts to 37 mph in the central San Joaquin Valley and gusts to 64 mph in the Kern County deserts and 71 mph in the Kern County mountains. The strong gusts played havoc on traffic traversing Highway 14 at the south end of Tehachapi Pass, with two ���big rigs��� blown over during the afternoon of the 18th.||The storm was relative dry, however, and snow accumulations were only 9 inches or less, mainly above the 6500 foot level.||The relatively dry airmass allowed for strong cooling for the central and southern San Joaquin Valley once the winds subsided during the evening of December 18th. Temperatures fell into the mid to upper 20s in the coldest Valley locations, bringing the first significant freeze event to the central and southern San Joaquin Valley. Low temperatures the next morning were even colder by a few degrees, with the coldest spots dropping down to 21 degrees. |
