FRIDAY May 04, 2012

Upstream shortwave will pass thru NORCAL today bringing our district increased breezes and temps dipping just below normal. Then as the weekend begins, those temps remain quite comfortable as that shortwave heads towards the Northern Rockies. I expect to see an EPAC ridge of high pressure beginning to amplify thru the weekend bringing on a steady warming trend starting on Monday.

Today: Mostly sunny.  Highs 75 – 80 and lows 47 – 52. Winds S 10 – 15 mph in the PM.

FOR THE TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES:
