North Central CA Coast upper trof to kick out Monday afternoon, leaving drier weather for the rest of the week…..The AZ Monsoon may be coming to an end…..
Sunday August 10, 2014
Monday Night:
Major air mass pattern change for much drier weather coming up as an eastern pacific trof sets up offshore with upper Jet currently bringing Thunderstorms to the Mammoth area shifting east. Once the Southwest flow develops, we’ll experience dry weather with the usual afternoon and evening Zephyr winds along with chillier early morning lows. The prind. point here is that WSW flow will continue for at least a week, possibly longer. So back to the weather the eastern sierra is famous for. Lots of sunshine and little rain beginning tomorrow Tuesday. Again and according to the CFS model, it is possible that the dry pattern may last a week to 10 days before moisture starts working back into the eastern sierra the last 10 days of the month.
Expect highs in the low to mid 70s then upper 70s by weeks end.

Sunday PM Update:
Now cast: Thunderstorms are training NNW from Alpine County.
Upper central coast trof to kick out late Monday………………..Leaving drier and more stable weather the rest of the week……
However, before it does Monday may be an active day of thunderstorms over Mono County eastward.
Daytime highs in the mid 70s with nighttime lows in the upper 30s and 40s
There will be a few remaining days of Thunder….Namely today and possibly Monday…….
As far as another Monsoon Surge…..None in the cards this week as Hemispheric Pattern begins to change showing more pacific amplification and an adjusted eastern pacific ridge further west. Week two holds some possibility as again, an expansion of the subtropical ridge extends from the SE to California. This may happen during, early the last week of August. However, by that time it will be getting a bit late for the AZ Monsoon……
This Summers California Central Sierra active Monsoon Season appears to be on the Wane………
By the End of August and especially September, the Dweebs will be keeping a wary eye to the SSE to see if any tropical storms will come up from Baja and merge with an eastern pacific trof…..thereby pulling subtropical rain bearing moisture up over the Sierra Via Southern CA.
Note:
For you Ranchers in Fish Lake Valley, outside of a few thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening, the weather looks dry Wednesday through the following Sunday…..
