FORECAST FOR THE OWENS VALLEY, MAMMOTH AND MONO COUNTY
PROVIDED BY DENNIS MATTINSON
EASTERN SIERRA WEATHER FORECASTER
KSRW 92.5 / 96.5 FM AND TV-33
MONDAY, 29-JUN-09, MORNING REPORT
HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS A LITTLE EASTWARD TODAY ALLOWING SOME MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO MOVE OVER THE MOUNTAINS. ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, A LITTLE MORE MOISTURE IS PUMPED UP FROM THE SOUTHEAST INCREASING THE CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. I EXPECT MOST OF THIS ENERGY TO BE HIGH BASED, PRODUCING ONLY A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION IN THE VALLEYS. TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN VERY WARM IN BOTH THE VALLEYS AND THE HIGH COUNTRY THROUGH THE WORK WEEK. BY INDEPENDENCE DAY, DRIER AIR MOVES IN ALONG WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES, FOR A REAL NICE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
