Directly <br /> applicable for locations between sea level and 5000 ft (1524 m). <br /> Elevation adjustment must be applied for locations above 5000 ft. <br /> events. In contrast to figure 4.4, figure 4.5 maintains a maximum between <br /> these two locations. There is no known meteorological basis for a different <br /> solution. The analysis suggests that in the northern portion of the region <br /> maximum PMP occurs between the Sierra Nevada on the west and the Wasatch <br /> range on the east. <br /> A discrete maximum (> 10 inches, 254 mm) occurs at the north end of the <br /> Sacramento Valley in northern California because the northward-flowing moist <br /> air is increasingly channeled and forced upslope. Support for this PMP cen- <br /> ter comes from the Newton, Kennett, and Red Bluff storms (fig. 4.1). Although <br /> the analysis in this region appears to be an extension of the broad maximum <br /> through the center of the Southwestern Region, it does not indicate the <br /> direction of moist inflow. The pattern has evolved primarily as a result of <br /> attempts to tie plotted maxima into a reasonable picture while considering <br /> inflow directions, terrain effects, and moisture potential. <br /> 1 <br /> Ilk • <br />
