May 8th, 2024 @ 11 AM – Mammoth Mountain Weather: Clear skies over Mammoth Mountain and the Eastern Sierra this morning.

The short-term weather forecast calls for clear, sunny skies, with warming temperatures and cool temperatures today into Thursday along the N to NE winds on Mammoth Mountain and down in the Bishop area.

By Friday, the area will start to see a slow warm-up that will eventually lead to above-average temperatures for this time of year by the weekend and into the following week.

If you’re going to be outdoors for some recreation, here is what you can expect,

For today and Thursday, expect clear skies, mid-day temperatures into the mid-40s around Main Lodge, and winds out of the NE at 5-10 MPH. Over the mid and upper mountain, temperatures will be in the mid to upper 30s, with a NE wind at 15-30 MPH. Overnight lows will be cold in the low to mid-20s, delaying the daily conversion to wet spring corn snow each morning.

On Friday, winds should shift back to the SW, and temperatures will begin to warm up; there will also be a few build-ups leading to a slight chance of showers over the higher elevations with snow levels above the 10,500-foot level.

Over the upcoming weekend, expect a nice warm-up into the upper 40s to low 50s around Main Lodge with a return of light to moderate, at times, SW winds. Night-time lows will come up into the low to mid-30s for Mammoth Mountain and the high country.

Lower elevations will also be windy and cool the next couple of days, with a nice warm-up by the weekend. By Saturday, Mammoth Lakes should see the lower 60s, with mid-to-upper 60s to lower 70s from Crowley to Toms Place. Down in the Bishop and Mill Pond areas, look for the mid-80s by the weekend with light afternoon winds.
