MSLP GIF out 10 Days – The pattern for the next week is one of High Pressure out on the Eastern Pacific with waves of weak inside sliders dropping into the great basin. There will be just enough instability at times from those to kick up some thunderstorms. Don’t be surprised if T Storms get added back into the main forecast possibly later this week and into the weekend. This pattern will keep the area with some perfect late spring weather. Warm days with cool nights, how blessed we are this Memorial Week.

MSLP = The mean sea-level pressure (MSLP) is the atmospheric pressure at the mean sea level. This is the atmospheric pressure normally given in weather reports on radio, television, and newspapers or on the Internet.

Temperature Anomaly GIF – Cool to warm to cool again is the cycle we are in over the next 6 days.

*The term temperature anomaly means a departure from a reference value or long-term average. A positive anomaly indicates that the observed temperature was warmer than the reference value, while a negative anomaly indicates that the observed temperature was cooler than the reference value.

The Wind Forecast GIF Winds will be picking up on Tuesday and Wednesday with gusts in the 25-35 MPH range possible above the 9000 foot level. The yellow, orange, and red colors show wind speeds in the 30-50 MPH range. When you see the brown and whitish colors, the lifts on Mammoth Mountain will be closed.

QPF Forecast Image – The QPF forecast has some possibly wet T Storms forming this afternoon over Mammoth and along the crest. Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts, or QPFs, depict the amount of liquid precipitation expected to fall in a defined period of time. In the case of snow or ice, QPF represents the amount of liquid that will be measured when the precipitation is melted.
