Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeApril began with an upper-level trough moving through interior central California. Rain and mountain snow showers continued into the 2nd, before the next storm arrived. This next storm reached the region during the evening of April 4th, and continued into the next day. The cold front moved quickly through interior central California, but in its wake, a pool of cold, unstable air settled over the San Joaquin Valley and adjacent mountains. A late-morning ice-pellet shower fell on Hanford, and small hail fell on parts of central Madera, Fresno and Tulare counties during the afternoon. The snow level dropped as low as 2500 feet during the morning of April 4th, with snow falling on some Sierra Nevada foothill communities, including Oakhurst (which reported up to 3 inch accumulations) and Springville. Some road closures and delays were reported in the foothills. In the central and southern San Joaquin Valley, storm total rainfalls ranged from 0.83 inch at Merced to a mere 0.08 inch at Bakersfield. In the Southern Sierra Nevada, 20 inches of snow fell at Lodgepole, and new snow accumulations were estimated at as much as 29 inches in the high country. Further south, 3.5 inches of snow fell at Bear Valley Springs in the Tehachapi Mountains. Some road closure and delays were reported in Tehachapi Mountain communities. In the Kern County deserts, winds gusted to 50 mph as the storm moved through.
