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
THURSDAY, 27-AUG-09, MORNING REPORT
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST REMAINS IN PLACE AND EVEN STRENGTHENS TODAY AND TOMORROW CREATING ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES INTO FRIDAY. THE BIG QUESTION NOW IS WILL THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM IGNACIO EFFECT OUR AREA. RIGHT NOW AT LEAST, I EXPECT SOME HIGH CLOUDS OVER THE CREST LATER FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND AND THAT'S ABOUT ALL. THE RIDGE WEAKENS THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK AS A SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH THE PACNW. THIS WILL DROP TEMPERATURES A BIT AND BRING A FEW MORE CLOUDS INTO OUR AREA. MONO COUNTY COULD SEE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS AND THAT'S ABOUT ALL. DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE OWENS VALLEY THROUGH THIS TIME PERIOD.

TODAY: SUNNY SKIES. HIGHS AROUND 96. WINDS SE 6 MPH.
