| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An area of high pressure developed in the eastern Pacific around mid December, centered near Hawaii. This high pressure feature caused a series of major Pacific storms to ride over the high pressure and into California, carried by very strong upper-atmosphere winds (jet stream winds). While the first storm brought only light rain to the San Joaquin Valley, and a few inches of snow to the higher elevations of the Southern Sierra Nevada, the main impact was to weaken the high pressure and allow a stronger and more potent storm to reach central California beginning the night of December 17th-18th. ||This second storm brought over a half-inch of rain to parts of the San Joaquin Valley floor. Flooding was reported in the Fresno metropolitan area, mainly due to the combination of locally heavy rains and poor drainage areas within the urban and suburban land.||Very cold air accompanied the storm, settling into Yosemite Valley and resulting in over 4 inches of new snow to the Yosemite Valley floor at an elevation of 4000 feet. In the high country, between 2 and 3 feet of new snow fell, spreading as far south as the Tulare County mountains, where Lodgepole measured 28 inches of new snow. Further south, as much as 6 inches of snow fell near the crest of the Tehachapi Mountains, at Mount Pinos.||The third storm reached interior central California during the night of December 19th. This storm brought up to a foot of snow to the high country of the Southern Sierra Nevada north of Kings Canyon, and gusty winds to the Kern County mountains and the Indian Wells Valley. Gusts as strong as 64 mph were recorded in the Piutes (at the south end of the Sierra Nevada range), and there were several reports of gusts up to 55 mph in the Tehachapi Mountains and the Kern County Desert. |
