MUCH QUIETER WEATHER PATTERN RETURNS TO THE REGION TODAY AND
THROUGH MOST OF NEXT WEEK AS MOISTURE AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
PUSH EASTWARD. THERE REMAINS A SLIGHT CHANCE (<10%) OF A
THUNDERSTORM TODAY IN SOUTHERN MONO COUNTY WITH LOWER CHANCES INTO

DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW RETURNS AS LARGE SCALE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
OVER THE WESTERN U.S. THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL
CONTINUE TO ALLOW DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES TO RISE 3-8 DEGREES
ABOVE AVERAGE THROUGH THE END OF NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER, WITH SHORTER
DAYS ALREADY SETTING IN, OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO
COOL INTO THE LOW TO MID 60S IN THE VALLEYS. HARD TO BELIEVE WE
