Lone Pine is now expected to hit 94 on Saturday. Using the 4 degrees/1k feet rule-of-thumb (for clear conditions), that would put the peak at around 52-54 degrees.
Guess what the models now project: - crest 58 degrees - upper Boyscout lake 62 degrees
I had been cancelling, rescheduling and re-cancelling a previously planned trip for the last two weeks. The 5/30 MR guided trip was literally a last minute decision. I jumped on it once the weather models were all in agreement that high pressure was finally building after 4 storms came through during the last 6 weeks.
