MONDAY FEB 10 2014
Our West Coast ridge (perma-dome) is still lurking out there off the coast. It is moving northward from its vacation down by Baja / SOCAL and is building into Central California. In doing so, it is pushing the moisture laden atmospheric river north of our area. As it does there is still a slight chance of residual showers in Mono County. So clearing today with a drier NW flow through the week. So as the week progresses we may have a few systems passing to our north, but dry and at times cloudy weather.
