WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL EASTERN SIERRA WEEKEND WITH A LITTLE SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS, SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS IN THE VALLEYS ON SATURDAY AND CRYSTAL CLEAR BLUE SKIES WITH THOSE GREAT FALL COLORS ON SUNDAY. BOTH DAYS SAW TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 70S FOR THE OWENS VALLEY. FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS WE WILL HAVE DRY CONDITIONS AND WARMING TEMPS AS AN EASTERN PACIFIC RIDGE HOLDS IN PLACE. BY WEDNESDAY TEMPERATURES START TO DIP A BIT AND THEN BY THE WEEKEND A TROUGH SLIDES THROUGH DROPPING TEMPERATURES EVEN MORE AND CREATING THE POSSIBILITY OF SHOWERS IN THE VALLEYS AND SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS. MORE ON THIS AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES.
