AS MENTIONED IN YESTERDAYS FORECAST, SMOKE FROM THE FIRES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DID INDEED FILTER UP INTO THE SOUTHERN OWENS VALLEY EARLY THIS MORNING. DAYTIME MIXING WILL HELP DISSIPATE THE SMOKE SOMEWHAT BUT WITH AN INCREASE IN THE SOUTHERLY FLOW TODAY, SOME SMOKE WILL AGAIN MOVE UP INTO OUR AREA. THE CLOSED LOW OFF THE WEST COAST HAS MOVED INLAND A BIT AND WILL CREATE PARTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES IN THE HIGH COUNTRY ON SATURDAY. OTHERWISE QUIET WEATHER WITH DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.
