  nights.
* A Pacific trough brings cooler, drier, and windier conditions
  this week.

.DISCUSSION...through Sunday.
Area webcams show the dense wildfire smoke that settled into the
northern Owens Valley this evening. Visibility at the Bishop Airport
has ranged between 1-2 miles all night. Meanwhile, air quality
sensors depict unhealthy air quality in the area. These conditions
are likely to persist through the morning hours. By the afternoon,
surface heating and increased winds should help mix out and disperse
some of the smoke, but it may return again in the evening and
subsequent evenings. Behavior of the Garnet Fire will dictate the
severity of smoke.
Otherwise, the main weather of note will be the seasonably pleasant
conditions expected this week thanks to a Pacific trough pushing
into the region. Southwest breezes have already begun to scour out
moisture and precipitation chances, and that continues today with
PoPs limited to Mohave County and only ~10%. Beyond that, the only
notable precipitation chances (10-30%) reside in the Sierra and our
NW zones due to the trough itself. For the rest of the area,
expecting dry conditions and gusty southwest winds of 20-40 mph this
week. Temperatures across the area gradually decrease through
Thursday, eventually falling 8-12 degrees below normal. As we head
into the weekend, temperatures rebound slightly while quieter
conditions return.
