WEDNESDAY, 19-NOV-08, 7:08 AM
THE BIG DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE IS STILL IN CONTROL SO WE COULD SEE ANOTHER DAY OF NEAR RECORD TEMPERATURES IN SOME AREAS OF THE OWENS VALLEY. THIS WILL CHANGE STARTING THURSDAY AS A DRY COLD FRONT BASHES INTO AND THROUGH THE PACNW. THIS WILL FLATTEN THAT RIDGE AND BRING TEMPERATURES DOWN FROM THE LOW 70S TODAY AND TOMORROW T0 THE MID 60S OR SO BY FRIDAY. THE WEEKEND INTO AT LEAST MONDAY STILL LOOKS DRY, THEN ON OR ABOUT WEDNESDAY A WEAK SPLITTING SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH CREATING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE HIGH COUNTY. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A BIG DEAL AT THIS TIME, BUT THIS COULD OPEN THE DOOR FOR SOMETHING LARGER LATER NEXT WEEK.
