FRIDAY 09-DEC-2011

Relativity quiet weather continues into the weekend as high pressure remains in place. Temperatures will dip a bit Friday through Sunday as the ridge moves inland. Later Sunday into Monday, a weather change occurs, as the ridge weakens in response to an upper level low swinging through the PACNW and NORCAL. So clouds will increase on Sunday and there will be a slight chance of showers in Mono County Sunday. By Monday, precipitation chances increase for both Inyo and Mono Counties as the low drops southward down into our area.

FOR THE OWENS VALLEY:

Today: Mostly sunny and mostly clear in the evening. Highs 54 and lows in the lower 20s. Winds NW 5 mph.
