Synopsis – FRI JUL 17 2026

This weekend the upper ridge expands over the Rockies towards 4-corners. This should allow for the return of a moisture towards the Eastern Sierra. This could bring a 20% – 30% chance of t-storms back to our area on Saturday or Sunday. That moisture should be well established over much of our area next week, leading to ongoing chances of afternoon and evening t-storms…DMATT
