| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The strong low pressure trough brought significant rainfall amounts to the region on November 25th-26th, with Fresno and Bakersfield receiving around half of their monthly rain totals from this storm. Rainfall amounts in the Kern County mountains locally exceeded 1.5 inches, while sites in the central and southern San Joaquin Valley saw amounts up to three-quarters of an inch. A Flash Flood Watch was issued for the Piute burn area south of Lake Isabella, but fortunately, the ground was able to absorb the rainfall.||There was little snow in the mountains, as the low pressure systems during the month each brought some influx of tropical, moist air, keeping snow levels initially at 9000 feet or higher. Snow levels began falling during the morning of the 26th, with light snow falling at Hume Lake. By mid-morning, the California Highway Patrol had chain restrictions on Highway 168, as there was enough snow on the road to impede travel. Also, just after Thanksgiving, there were some trace amounts of snow in the mountains in Kern County after the rain tapered off, since the air had cooled off sufficiently by that time. ||Strong winds also developed on the 24th of the month. Strong wind gusts of up to 50 mph occurred in the Kern County mountains, according to mesonet weather stations and a trained NWS spotter. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The California Highway Patrol reported minor flooding on Highway 166 near Buttonwillow. In addition, rainfall amounts of just over 1 inch occurred in the Frazier Park area. |
