Quick Update: Flash Flood Watch in effect from August 3, 02:00 PM PDT until August 4, 02:00 AM PDT Today will be a slightly warmer day than Friday: It will be partly cloudy with areas of smoke and even some denser smoke as the French fire in the San Joaquin drainage continues to burn out of control. It has now reached about 12,000 acres and is 15% contained. Some from this fire will affect the eastern sierra on and off now well into August depending upon wind direction. An Easterly Wave will move into the high country Sunday afternoon with Showers and thunderstorms. This system is likely to produce rain throughout the night. Some thunderstorms could bring potentially heavy rain depending upon the amount of daytime heating we get early in the day. This is an organized area of moisture and precipitation that is moving up from Baja today. Upper level moisture has already reached the deserts of Southern California. The trajectory is right up through Eastern Ca Sunday/Night. The silver lining is that it will most likely disperse the smoke for a while….. The Owens Valley is under a flash flood watch beginning 5:00am Sunday morning. Campers, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts should stay in touch with advisories that will be forth coming later today and tomorrow…..There is the possibility that the Flash flood watch for the Owens Valley may be extended north to include Mono County for Sunday as well. I will have an update on this developing weather system Sunday AM……… - See more at: mammothweather/#sthash.S2jQftgo.dpuf
