Right now there is a big ridge centered off the West Coast and it will gradually shift east within the next couple of days. This will cause a warming trend through out our area with lighter winds.

Today for Bishop & the Owens Valley: Mostly sunny skies. Daytime temps in the lower 80s and evening lows in the mid 40s. Northwest wind 10 - 15 becoming light in the evening.

Tomorrow for Bishop & the Owens Valley: Sunny. Daytime temps in the mid 80s and evening lows in the mid 40s. Light wind.

Today for Mammoth & the Mono Valleys: Sunny blue skies. High temperature range 65 - 75 and lows 32 - 42. Northeast wind 10 - 15 mph.

Tomorrow for Mammoth & the Mono Valleys: Sunny becoming partly cloudy. Slight chance of thunderstorm activity in the afternoon. High temperature range 66 - 76 and lows 32 - 42. West wind 10 - 15 mph.

Wednesday should be the warmest day this week as that ridge continues its shift east into the Rockies and a weak trough moves onto the West Coast. Thursday and Friday will see a slight cool down in response to that trough keeping an onshore flow going into the weekend with dry conditions, moderate temperatures and afternoon winds.
