The winds have been blowing throughout the high country the past 24 hours with stronger gusts expected today.  Expect increasing cloudiness today with a slight chance of snow this afternoon…..A Winter Storm Warning is in effect, beginning at 1100pm tonight through 1100pm Wednesday night. Snow fall amounts are expected in the 6 to 12 inch range in the Town of Mammoth and between 1 and 2 feet on Mammoth Mt by Thursday morning. Additional amounts are expected, however lighter on Thursday.

The weather pattern across the EPO region still is highlighted by a block. Thus the westerlies are forced to the south  across the central and eastern pacific. Nevertheless, height rises will occur this weekend and early next week for some beautiful weather across California outside of a few instability showers early next week.  There may be a storm on our horizon the following weekend…
