WEATHER DISCUSSION:
Moist westerly flow will bring periods of heavy precipitation to Mono County thruSaturday. The Atmospheric River is being funneled between a Gulf of Alaska low and a ridge of high pressure to its south. There will be relativity mild temperatures with snow levels as high as 9,000 feet. Very windy conditions for parts of Mono County thru the weekend, with 100 + mph winds over the Crest Friday andSaturday. Reducing chances of precipitation Sunday and Monday, before another possible Atmospheric River (AR) pattern hits Mono County. We will see about this, so stay tuned for updates…DMATT
