Friday for Bishop & the Owens Valley: Sunny skies again. Daytime high temperatures in the upper 90s and evening lows in the mid 50s. Northwest wind 10 - 15 mph in the afternoon.

Ridging continues to weaken slightly into the weekend as a Pacific trough passes to our north. So, continued warm temperatures with a slight drop on Saturday and Sunday. We will then see a slight rebound in temperatures on Monday as ridging strengthens again. Then another slight cool down on Tuesday and Wednesday as another trough nears the coast. Skies will remain generally clear through the period with occasional mountain cumulus over the Crest.
