FRIDAY JUN 20 2014
After yesterdays cool down from a late season storm, things begin to heat up. Yesterday we got scattered showers in Mammoth Lakes, Mono and Mineral counties. Today however is a different story as strong ridging begins to move in from the Desert SW. By the weekend or the early part of next week, the Owens Valley and Reno should see the start of a string of 100+ days, with Tuesday being the hottest. Along with the high temperatures, the threat of isolated thunderstorms increases, particularly in Mono County on Tuesday and Wednesday. More on this in the weekend forecast.
