Today’s Forecast for Crestline, Twin Peaks, Lake Arrowhead and the San Bernardino Mountains.
Good Morning.
Thick smoke from the “HOLY” fire filled the air yesterday afternoon. Hopefully today we will get a break from the smoke as a more Easterly wind flow should develop. However, the HRRR smoke forecast shows a return of the plume of smoke for this afternoon. Let’s hope for T/Storms and an Easterly wind. There will be a chance for Thunderstorm development locally this afternoon and into this evening through Friday, as Monsoonal Moisture returns to the area. Hurricane John will begin to weaken this morning to a Tropical Storm as it moves North and West. We hope to see some measurable rain from John as a plume of moisture moves North into the area. Temperatures today will be a little warmer than yesterdays unless we get a blanket of smoke again. For the weekend temperatures will return to more normal temps with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.
Have a good day and as always, please be fire safe. RC
