November 10th, 2023 @ 11 AM – Good morning; we have mostly clear skies with just a bit of haze. A couple of controlled burns are going, one in the Mammoth Lakes Basin and a big one near the June Lake Loop and 395.

The weather story for today: expect a short wave ridge of high pressure to move through the area over the next few days.

By Sunday, the ridge starts to move off to the east as a deep cut-off will set up off the coast of California. These cut-off lows are impossible to forecast, and where they go, nobody knows for sure.

So what looked like a massive amount of snow coming in a few days ago now looks like snowfall in much lower amounts. The problem is the cut-off low is now forecasted too far off the coast for meaningful snowfall.

It does look like by Tuesday, there could be some snow showers out on Mammoth Mountain as the low moves closer to the coast. But even that forecast is suspect at this time.

We can take a look at this cut-off low again on Sunday. If you’re coming up to ski or snowboard on Monday and Tuesday, expect windy conditions with increasing clouds and a chance of snow showers on Tuesday.

Friday into Monday Weather Forecast Details: At the Main Lodge, expect mostly clear skies with some high clouds at times. Mid-day temperatures will be in the mid-40s, with early morning lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s.

SW  winds will be 5-15 MPH into Saturday, and then gusts will be in the 25 to 35 MPH range by Sunday.

Mammoth Lakes temperatures will be in the mid to upper 40s on Wednesday and then lower to mid-50s on Thursday and into the weekend, with nighttime lows in the twenties.

Down in Bishop, it will be in the low to mid-60s into next Monday with nighttime lows into the 30s each night.  Snowman out...
