Upper trough that caused the light snow and windy conditions pushed thru Nevada late yesterday and is now over the Utah/Colorado border. Heck we even got dusting over the Whitney Crest and the Inyo’s. I expect dry and cool weather today with locally brisk breezes. Thursday will see ridging building in for warming temperatures and reduced winds. Friday and the weekend, the temps will really warm up in the Owens Valley, with the lower 80s possible by Sunday / Monday. Mono County looks to see the low 70s in some areas by Sunday / Monday as well. And Death will see the mid to upper 90s. Looks like we are on our way to summer.
