Perfect warm weather! Escape the heat of the low lands and head on up to Tuolumne Meadows where the temps are in the 70's. The crowds have really started to pick up this week but most climbing areas are vacant.

Cold and windy with temps in the 60's but the big warm up is coming and it should be real nice and warm by next Friday!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY AND WELCOME TO THE FIRST FULL DAY OF SUMMER ON SUNDAY!
AN UPPER TROF IS OVER THE MAMMOTH AREA TODAY...COOL, BREEZY WEATHER IS IN THE OFFERING. HIGH TEMPS ON SUNDAY WILL BE IN THE LOW 60S...THEN WILL WARM TOWARD THE LOW 70S BY WEDNESDAY AND THEN MID TO UPPER 70S BY WEEKEND END.
ANOTHER FAST MOVING IMPULSE MOVED THROUGH THE MAMMOTH AREA LAST NIGHT REINFORCING THE COOL AIR. LOCALLY BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TODAY SUNDAY. TODAY'S HIGH OF 61 IS EXPECTED TO BE 12 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR THE 1ST DAY OF SUMMER.
THE LATEST 12Z FORECAST MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT IN DEVELOPING A WEAK CUTOFF LOW OFF THE CENTRAL COAST BY WEDNESDAY. BEFORE THAT HAPPENS ANOTHER SMALLER FEATURE WILL AID TO DEVELOP AFTERNOON CONVECTION ON MONDAY.
WEDNESDAYS CUT OFF ROLLS INTO THE WEST COAST ABOUT FRIDAY SO A CHANCE OF TSRWS ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE THEN. IT WILL GROW WARMER THE SECOND HALF OF THIS NEW WEEK REACHING CLIMO BY THURSDAY OR FRIDAY.
H
OWEVER, PER YESTERDAYS DISCUSSION.....THE MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF FOR A WHILE ON THE MUCH WARMER THAN NORMAL HIGH TEMPS FOR NEXT WEEKEND.
MORE LATER THIS WEEK INCLUDING A LOOK AT THE WEEK FOLLOWING JULY 4TH.

At Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite there is a herd of deer that hang out every summer. You can easily view them from Hwy 120 that passes through Tuolumne Meadows and the best time is either in the morning or the evening.
|
|
Normal weather has returned to Tuolumne with temps in the 70's and some clouds in the afternoon. Climbs and boulders should rapidly dry out now. The Tm Campground is now open as are all services in Tuolumne.

Cold weather continues to grip Tuolumne Meadows. Yesterday saw some good rain in the afternoon lasting into the evening with lots of fresh snow on the surrounding peaks.
Today, 6/16/09, has lots of clouds streaming in from the east side and it looks like more rain. It is cold with a temp of 42 degrees at 8:30am.

The weather has still not been co-operating with lots of clouds and wind yesterday with a high in the 50's. The rain with scattered snow moved in around 3pm and lasted 8pm sunset making for a nice sunset.
Today is starting out clear, the first time in several days, and it is cold. The low was 32 degrees and everything is covered in ice from yesterdays storm. More storms are in the forecast at least through next Thursday.
The Tuolumne Meadows Campground is to open on 6/19

Yesterday saw a huge storm and everything is VERY wet with some hail leftover in spots. It may be to wet today to climb and the the clouds are already about with more storms in forecast.
The TM Store, Grill, Mtn School and visitor center are open.
|
|
The day started out nice but then around 1:30 the rain, hail and lightning came in hard! Good thing there are not many climbers around as it would have been ugly.
The forecast is more of the same and the long range is calling for a mild El Nina which they say might keep this weather around until the end of June. There is still no word on the campground but some rumors say maybe it might open by the end of the month.
Some shots of the hail in Tm today.

It has been a cold spring up in the high country of Yosemite with plenty of storms. This was shot the evening of 6/3/09 in the Tuolumne Meadows area as the storm was clearing out. Last clips are the moon rising over Tuolumne with a pan over to Unicorn and Cathedral Peak.<BR>

It rained most of the afternoon with snow up at the pass. At 5:30 it was windy and cloudy and everything is wet from all the rain we had today. The forecast is for more rain and then some good snow down to 8,000' on Friday. After that it is supposed to get back to a normal summer next week.
The Tuolumne Meadows Store and Mtn Shop are open with most other services opening up next Friday, 6/12. They say the visitor center will open soon? whatever that means and the Campground is still wet with snow drifts. It does not look like it will open for a couple of weeks.

Todays weather was more thunderstorm build up with scattered showers and more are forecast for the rest of the week. It was cold this morning with lows in the 30's with frost and some ice on the ponds. The afternoon saw nice warm temps and the mosquitoes are coming out! Depending where you are they can be real bad.
It looks like Tenaya Lake and the Knobs are pretty dry for bouldering with snow at the Gunks and Machine World.

Tuolumne Meadows Report for 5/26/09
It was a perfect day in the meadows with temps in the 70's and very few climbers and people around. There was a good buildup of afternoon thunderstorms but they were mostly west of Tenaya Lake, more are forecast for tomorrow.
There is still plenty of snow around so be prepared when hiking to climbs. Most routes are dry with Medlicott and Dozier Domes being the wettest with lots of water streaks from the snow on top.

If Yosemite is in your crystal ball in '09 don't miss Sundays and Thursdays at the Whoa Nellie Deli, a.k.a. the Tioga Gas Mart. Fish tacos, mango margaritas and an all-new lineup of local bands are set to take over the Mobil gas station all summer through Sept. 6.
Flip through my slideshow below (10 photos from Memorial Day weekend 2009).
First, the food
The Tioga Mart's menu is a word-of-mouth rock star, earning write-ups from Gourment Magazine
and the Los Angeles Times Magazine. A recent special was ahi sashimi
with seaweed salad for $13.95 (my other faves are BBQ chicken and pesto
pizza, Kansas City steak caesar salad and six-layer carrot cake).
Never
been? This is how it works: visitors simply grab a beer from the
coolers in the gas mart and do a 180 toward the far corner of the
building, where chef Matt "Tioga" Toomey runs the 100-mile-an-hour show
behind a kitchen takeout counter.
Now, the music
The Tioga Mart has increasingly become a favorite outdoor music venue
for the Yosemite crowd on Sundays and Thursdays in summer. The grassy
lawn with a view out to Mono Lake is a rad end-of-day retreat from the
Valley, no matter who you are -- climber, biker or family of four. Most
bands are from Mammoth, Bishop and Lake Tahoe.
