An area of low pressure in the Eastern Pacific will make shore tonight and stall there causing a weakening in our ridge of high pressure. This will create increased cloud cover and lowering temperatures a bit by Saturday.

Today for Mammoth: Clear skies. Highs will be in the low 50s and lows should be around 17. South wind 5 - 10 mph.

Tomorrow for Mammoth: Partly cloudy skies with daytime temps in the lower 50s and evening temps around 18. Southwest wind 10 mph.

A dry northwest flow ahead of a developing ridge on Saturday night should keep our area dry with some high clouds and temperatures to near normal.
