Synopsis – MON AUG 17 2026

After a beautiful weekend, your temps begin to warm today, as a ridge of high pressure builds Westward across 4-corners into the Western US. So expect 95° today in Bishop and 99° by Thursday. Moisture, which helped fuel storms of late, will decrease as the upper flow becomes more Southwesterly-to-Westerly. Heat Risk looks to run on the moderate side, by the end of the work week…DMATT
