The wider storm
An upper trough that had very little moisture with it dropped southeast out of the Gulf of Alaska and pushed into northern California on December 15. This system pushed through central California on the morning of December 16 pushing a cold front through the region. Strong post-frontal winds developed in the San Joaquin Valley behind the front by late morning and continued well into the afternoon hours before the winds diminished by evening. Several stations in the San Joaquin Valley measured peak wind gusts between 35 mph and 55 mph.
