PROVIDED BY DENNIS MATTINSON
EASTERN SIERRA WEATHER FORECASTER
KSRW 92.5 / 96.5 FM AND TV-33

FRIDAY, 26-JUN-09, MORNING REPORT

THE CUTOFF LOW THAT CAUSED SOME BREEZY CONDITIONS AND A FEW SHOWERS LAST NIGHT IS MOVING EASTWARD. STILL A VERY SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR TWO AT THE CREST LEVEL THIS AFTERNOON IN MONO COUNTY. OTHERWISE, TODAY A RIDGE CENTERED TO OUR SOUTHEAST AND ONE OUT IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL JOIN FORCES TO CREATE AN ELONGATED UPPER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE. THIS WILL SET UP WARMING TEMPERATURES AND MAINLY CLEAR SKIES FOR OUR FORECAST AREA INTO THE WEEKEND AND THROUGH THE MID PART OF NEXT WEEK . ONE SIDE NOTE HERE, WITH THAT RIDGE OVER ARIZONA/NEW MEXICO, THERE IS ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY OF A SOME MOISTURE BEING PUMPED UP INTO OUR AREA DURING THIS EXTENDED PERIOD.
