TUE  JUL 01 2014

High pressure continues to amplify today along with the temperatures. Also today will be the best chance for instability in Mono County, as thunderstorm chances shift farther north tomorrow. A little cooler on Wednesday, as an upper level trough dips down into N. California, and this will help move the ridge axis over the the Rockies. Despite this, well above normal temps should continue for the rest of the week and into the holiday weekend, about 100F for the Owens Valley and 82 – 92F for Mono County.
