EASTERN SIERRA WEATHER FORECASTER
KSRW 92.5 / 96.5 FM AND TV-33
THURSDAY, 06-AUG-09, MORNING REPORT
A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY MOVING ONSHORE THROUGH NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT WEATHER CHANGES TO OUR AREA TODAY. HIGH DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL DROP SOME 10 -20 DEGREES FROM YESTERDAY AND THE WINDS WILL PICK UP. THE TRACK OF THAT LOW IS NOW PROGGED TO MOVE A BIT MORE NORTHERLY, KEEPING MOST OF THE MOISTURE UP IN MONO COUNTY AND NORTHWARD. THUNDERSTORMS AND LIGHT SNOW IS STILL EXPECTED IN THE MONO COUNTY AREA. A WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN AFFECT FOR MONO AND INYO COUNTIES UNTIL AT LEAST 9:00 THIS EVENING. THE WINDS WILL DIE DOWN AND I EXPECT GRADUAL WARMING AFTER TODAY WITH TEMPERATURES REACHING THE NORMAL RANGE FOR AUGUST BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, WITH DRY CONDITIONS.
