Flag stiffening winds will continue today in the Owens Valley and Mammoth as pressure gradients along the Sierra Crest refuse to relax. These winds should subside a bit later later today into Friday. Otherwise, high pressure is building in, giving us warmer temperatures and clear skies.

Today for Mammoth and the Mono Valleys: Sunny. Northwest wind 10 - 15 gusting to 25 in town and 60 mph over the Crest in the morning. Daytime temperature range 47 to 58 and lows 12 - 22.

Tomorrow for Mammoth and the Mono Valleys: Sunny and warmer. Temperature range 51 to 62 and lows 23 - 32. Northwest wind 10 - 15 with an occasional gusts of 30 mph in town.

On Saturday into Sunday a cold front will move across the Pacific Northwest and flatten the ridge, lowering the temps in our area a little and creating a few clouds. This is a dry front and skies should remain mostly clear with minimal chance of precipitation in the Owens Valley.
