All:



Discussion: Weak high pressure ridging continues over the California coast with a few patches of high level cloud drifting over the Owens Valley and High Country. This ridge will stay in place for the next few days with periods of high level clouds over our area.



Today: Partly cloudy in the Owens Valley with afternoon temps in the upper 60s and evening temps in the low to mid 30s. The High Country will also see partly cloudy skies with daytime temps in the low to mid 60s and evening temps in the mid 20s.



Tomorrow: Partly cloudy again for both the High County and Owens Valley. Afternoon temps in the Owens Valley will be in the mid to upper 60s and evening temps in the low to mid 30s. The High Country will have evening temps in the mid 20s and daytime temps in the low to mid 60s.



Outlook: Generally partly cloudy skies Thursday and Friday, followed by mostly cloudy skies on Saturday with isolated rain showers over the Sierra crest. Freezing levels will be near 12,000 feet, so only the upper elevations will have a chance of snow accumulation.
