Good morning on this Friday, April 29, 2022, @ 10:40 AM – You will find clear skies with just a few high clouds at times over the Eastern Sierra today.
Winds have backed off to more reasonable levels over the higher elevations, with light to calm winds from Mammoth Lakes to Bishop.
Weather Summary: An endless series of weak progressive lows will keep moving thru the area every 2-3 days over the next 10-day period.
Right now the EPS model shows there are lows lined up to come thru Sunday, Tuesday, and then again late next week.
That trend will keep the area at or below average temperature-wise and that will help to hold the snow longer in the high country.
Winds will continue to blow moderate to strong over the higher elevations each time one of these lows comes thru.
Snowfall from the first 2 lows will be nothing and then late next week there could possibly be a dusting to an inch or two of snow.
