Area Forecast Discussion – Mon Jul 01 2024

We have an interesting weather pattern for you this week. We have a strong ridge sitting over the Southern Plains, buttressed by an unseasonably strong ridge building off the West coast. As that Pacific high shifts inland mid week, our Forecast Area enters a period of very hot conditions, with well above normal temperatures. In terms of Heat Risk, early week we will be in a period of Moderate Risk, moving to an Extreme Risk by Wednesday thru Friday. What does that mean temperature wise for the 4th of July in Bishop? 106°. And Mammoth Lakes 84°. Stay cool out there..DMATT
