Weather forecast office sourcewfo_sourceNEWSPAPER
Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA substantial snowfall again occurred in the Southern Sierra Nevada and Tulare County Mountains in a 24-hour period across the 27th and 28th of the month after a long period of minimal major storm activity (January 3rd). New snow amounts in the South Sierra included 50 inches at Upper Burnt Corral, 36" at Mitchell Meadow, and 30" at Charlotte Lake. In the Tulare County Mountains 30 inches fell at Tunnel Guard Station, and 20" at Crabtree Meadow and Chagoopa Plateau. This winter storm marked the beginning of a late season wet period for Interior Central California that would extend into mid-April and provide the area with a good snowpack that otherwise was tending toward the dry side. Heavy rain occurred through much of the Kern County Mountains with rainfall reports varying from 1/4" up to 2.5". The Tehachapi area received approximately 1.5" of rain. There were no reports of flooding despite local areas of heavy rain. With wind flow aloft from the southwest during this time period the Central and Southern San Joaquin Valley experienced relatively light rainfall amounts due to a very pronounced rain-shadow from the Coast Range Mountains.
