QUITE AN AMAZING JUNE WEATHER DAY YESTERDAY IN THE EASTERN SIERRA, AS
LIGHT SNOW FELL ALL ALONG THE THE CREST (AT ABOUT 8,500 FEET LEVEL AND UP)
FROM OLANCHA PEAK THROUGH MAMMOTH & JUNE LAKES AND BEYOND. THE WHITE AND
INYOS ALSO RECEIVED THEIR SHARE OF THE WHITE STUFF. JUST AS AMAZING, LIGHT
RAIN FELL STEADILY IN MANY PARTS OF THE OWENS VALLEY, WELL INTO THE
EVENING. SOME RAIN FALL TOTALS ARE AS FOLLOWS: ALABAMA HILLS 1/2 INCH,
INDEPENDENCE 1/3 INCH, BISHOP 1/3 INCH AND LEE VINING ABOUT 1/4 INCH.
TEMPERATURES WERE ALSO UNUSUAL AS MANY OWENS VALLEY LOCATIONS RECORDED THE
LOW 50S IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON, WELL BELOW OUR SEASONAL JUNE NORM OF THE
UPPER 80S. WHATS ALSO INTERESTING, THE HUMIDITY LEVELS FOR JUNE ARE
USUALLY IN THE LOW TEENS, BUT YESTERDAY THE HUMIDITY WAS RUNNING AT 93%.
THIS IS ALL COURTESY OF A LARGE PACIFIC LOW STALLED OF THE CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA COAST WHICH PICKED A SLUG OF SUB-TROPICAL MOISTURE AND SLUNG IT
OUR WAY. SO FOR TODAY AND THE REST OF THE WEEK, THAT LOW WILL CONTINUE TO
REMAIN STATIONARY TODAY THEN BEGIN TO MOVE INLAND ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
THIS WILL PRODUCE BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS, COOL TEMPERATURES AND AN
ON-GOING CHANCE OF TSTMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS. SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE IN
THE HIGH COUNTRY, DOWN TO 8,500 FEET, FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. RIGHT NOW IT
LOOKS LIKE TROUGHINESS WILL PERSIST OVER OUR AREA INTO THE MID PART OF
NEXT WEEK. STAY TUNED FOR THOSE UPDATES.
