TUESDAY, 02-SEP-08, 6:50 AM

GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES AND GRADUALLY WARMING TEMPERATURES THROUGH END OF WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENS OVER THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL BY THE WEEKEND. I DON'T BELIEVE AT THIS TIME HOWEVER THAT THE RIDGE WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO DRIVE TEMPERATURES TO THE CENTURY MARK IN THE OWENS VALLEY. AND FURTHER, THE POSSIBILITY OF A WEAK UPPER LOW OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST NEXT MONDAY AND TUESDAY COULD DRAW IN SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND COOL THINGS DOWN A BIT. WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE ON THIS.

TODAY FOR THE OWENS VALLEY: MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE AROUND 90 FOLLOWED BY OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 40S. SOUTHEAST WIND 6 - 10 MPH.

TOMORROW FOR THE OWENS VALLEY: MOSTLY SUNNY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE AROUND 93 AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOWER 50S. SOUTHEAST WIND 5 - 11 MPH.
