| episode_narrative | Persistent closed low pressure off the Southern California Coast, beneath a blocking ridge, set a second period of rain and numerous problems for Interior Central California. The low resulted in gusty pre-frontal wind varying to high rainfall accumulations on the San Joaquin Valley Floor and Kern Deserts and snow in the higher elevations of the Southern Sierra Nevada, Tulare County Mountains, and the Kern County Mountains. On the Valley floor the 5-day rain total for Merced was 2.27", Fresno 1.33", Hanford 1.35", and Bakersfield 1.47". Heavy rainfall amounts in the foothills during the period included 8.57 inches at Mariposa leading to Bear Creek causing some damage due to overflowing near midpines in Mariposa County and running bankfull through the city of Merced by the 10th. Larger precipitation amounts in the mountain areas during the period included 6.15" at Wishon Dam, 5.68" in Coulterville, 5.65" at Jerseydale, 5.12" at Poison Ridge, and 5.01" at Yosemite-Wawona. In the 48 hour period ending on the 11th, Yosemite had 1.87" of rain and Shaver Lake 2.87". Kern Desert rainfall amounts included 3.89" at Edwards, 3.86" at Rosamond, 3.39" at Mojave, and 2.41" at Ridgecrest. In the 2-week period from late December through January 11th, Yosemite had 15.62" of rain which compared to the 15.69" of rain that occurred with the warmer rains around the January 1, 1997, time period which lead to flooding. Bootjack, in Mariposa County, received 31.5" of rain during the same 2-week period. |
