MONDAY AUG 18 2014
A little cooler for the early part of this week, as low pressure moves into N. California.Tuesday, that low will drop south along the SOCAL coast and this will bring a slight of thunderstorms to the Southern Sierra. All of this will keep temperatures at or just below normal for mid August. The question is, will this low shift inland and draw up some tropical moisture into California (by about Thursday). We will have to wait and see on this. So for now, enjoy the best of the Eastern Sierra, with warm days and cool nights and 100 mile visibility.
