Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeSkies cleared out on April 6th, except for some upslope mountain clouds, as the trough moved east and an eastern Pacific ridge began to build into California. Interior central California experienced tranquil weather for the next several days, but a potent late-season storm was dropping out of the Gulf of Alaska.||The storm moved into central California on April 11th. This was a much wetter storm than that of the week before, and the two-day rainfall totals for several central and southern San Joaquin Valley sites were close to, or over, the normal rainfall for the entire month of April. Gusty winds developed over the San Joaquin Valley during the afternoon of the 11th as the cold front pushed through. Winds gusted to 56 mph at Avenal on the west side of the Valley, while gusts to 46 mph were measured at Meadows Field in Bakersfield. An aircraft taking off from the Taft Municipal Airport was caught in one of these gusts. The aircraft was flipped over and crashed. The pilot only suffered minor injuries, but the aircraft had serious damage.||Thunderstorms developed over the central and southern San Joaquin Valley during the afternoon and early evening of April 12th, with hail up to three quarters of an inch in diameter. Lightning struck a condominium building in Fresno during the late afternoon, starting a fire that destroyed two units.||Another 12 to 18 inches of snow fell on the Southern Sierra Nevada, with both Lodgepole and Grant Grove reporting 15 inches. In the Tehachapi Mountains, up to 6 inches of new snow fell at Pine Mountain Club, and 4 inches at Cuddy Valley.||With abundant ground moisture from the rains, patchy dense fog developed during the early morning of April 13th. Isolated patches of fog formed the next morning, mainly in Merced County; otherwise the central and south Valley remained fog free as a drier airmass moved into the region. An upper-level ridge brought mostly clear skies and near- to slightly-above normal temperatures to interior central California through the 19th.
