episode_narrativeAn atmospheric river event, with several embedded short waves, impacted much of California from Thursday 5 February 2015 through Monday 9 February 2015. Due to the subtropical nature of the storm, snow levels remained very high (8000'+) throughout the storm with only a few inches reported. Precipitation across the San Joaquin Valley ranged from a few hundredths near Bakersfield to around three-quarters of an inch near Merced. In the Sierra Nevada and foothills, rainfall amounts were generally 2 to 4 inches with the highest amount observed being 5.16 at Nature Point (west of Oakhurst). Fresno received a storm total rain amount of 0.47 and Bakersfield 0.07.||At 1130 PM on Friday 6 February 2015, a mudslide was reported by CHP east of Coarsegold resulting in a one-car accident (no injuries). Law enforcement also reported flooding on Highway 41 near Coarsegold at the same time.||This system also brought gusty winds to the west side of the San Joaquin Valley where gusts were generally 35 to 45 mph on February 6. These winds resulted in blowing dust that severely reduced visibility along Highway 41 in Kings County, closing part of the road for several hours. Wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph also occurred on February 8 into the early morning of February 9, 2015 with a few gusts to near 60 mph through the Pacheco Pass and at the Panoche Road RAWS. Winds were also gusty across the Kern County mountains and over the high elevations of the Sierra in Tulare County with gusts 40 to 50 mph.
event_narrativeWinds gusts of 35 to 45 mph caused areas of blowing dust along and near Highway 41 in Kings County. The dust severely reduced visibility, resulting in closure of Highway 41 between Jackson and Kansas Avenues.
