AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HANFORD CA
1013 AM PDT WED JUL 1 2026
KEY MESSAGES
1. LAKE WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY FOR WEST SIDE
COASTAL MOUNTAINS NORTH OF 198 AND SAN LUIS RESERVOIR.
2. DRY AND BREEZY CONDITIONS CREATE ELEVATED FIRE RISK THIS
WEEK, ESPECIALLY IN THE MOJAVE DESERT.
3. NEAR-NORMAL TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA.
4. PRACTICE SAFETY AROUND LAKES, RIVERS AND STREAMS, AS WATER
IS STILL RUNNING COLD.
DISCUSSION
THE TROUGH THAT IS OVER CALIFORNIA CONTINUES TO MAKE
TEMPERATURES PLEASANT THROUGH THE END OF THE WORKWEEK. AS IT
MOVES, THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE OF WINDS NEAR THE SAN LUIS
RESERVOIR THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. AS OF LAST CHECK, GUSTS WERE
REACHING 24MPH, THUS PROMPTING THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY TO REMAIN
IN PLACE. IT WILL EXPIRE ON THURSDAY AT 11PM. AT SAN LUIS
RESERVOIR, GUSTS WILL EXCEED 30MPH TODAY, BUT THE PROBABILITY
OF THEM EXCEEDING 35MPH IS 45%. AREAS LIKE THE MOJAVE DESERT
SLOPES WILL HAVE GUSTS EXCEEDING 40MPH IN THE EARLY EVENING
HOURS. HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT MEET ADVISORY CRITERIA, BUT WE
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE WINDS.
BY SATURDAY, THE TROUGH IS WEAKEN ENOUGH THAT TEMPERATURES WILL
BEGIN TO APPROACH MORE CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMAL. A RIDGE IS
EXPECTED TO BUILD AROUND THE FOUR CORNERS REGION, WHICH IN TURN
WILL BRING OUR AREA TO WARMER TEMPERATURES. LOOKING AT THE CPC,
THEIR 6-10 DAY HAS THE CENTRAL VALLEY LEANING 33-50% ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH NEAR NORMAL PRECIPITATION. IT IS A
SIMILAR STORY FOR THEIR 8-14 DAY OUTLOOK, SO EXPECT TEMPERATURES
TO RETURN TO THE WARM SIDE.
AS WE GO INTO THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND WARM TEMPERATURES AFTER,
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT WHILE THE AIR TEMPERATURE MAY
BE WARM, WATER TEMPERATURE WILL BE MUCH COLDER. PLEASE PRACTICE
COLD WATER SAFETY FOR ANY RUNNING LAKE, STREAM, OR RIVER. EVEN
THE MOST EXPERIENCED SWIMMERS CAN LOSE DEXTERITY IN COLD WATER.
LISTEN TO ALL LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND OBEY POSTED SIGNS FOR
ANY WATER WAY THAT MAY BE CLOSED.
