Should not quite hit the Owens Valley but if you plan on traveling a little east you may run into some thunderstorm activity. Waves of showers with isolated thunderstorms will move across the area through this afternoon, generally along I-15 and drifting northward. Strong wind gusts and lightning are the primary expectations with these storms, with substantial rainfall (unfortunately) not expected. Storms will diminish and move east through this evening https://sierrawave.net/nws-thunderstorm-alert-for-those-slightly-east-of-us/

The Bishop City Council has voted to move forward with the process of canceling its contract with Flock Safety, the company that provides automated license plate reader cameras. The decision follows discussions over the program's effectiveness, and community concerns regarding privacy and data collection. While the cameras have been used as a tool to assist law enforcement in locating and stopping child a abduction ,and also identifying suspects. Council members  in a split decision determined it was time to discontinue the agreement.

Division Chief, Arnold Romarez. I oversee the Eastern Sierra Division and Owens Valley Camp. Today, we're on a fire on Diaz and Brockman. We have a structure fire into the vegetation. We have a packing plant that we wanted to protect on the north side, so we brought in our newly equipped helicopter, a 4 Papa Juliet, that's a Chinook. It's a CH-47 Delta, and that ship carries 2800 gallons of water, and it's here to help protect the Inyo-Mono Counties, for Cal Fire SRA. And, since we had some vegetation with this fire here, we thought we'd help on the north side and  protect that packing plant. So, we pre-treated. We put three drops in. That helicopter carries 2,800 gallons. Based on temperature and altitude, I assume that it carried about 1,500 to 2,000 gallons, uh, on each drop. And  we're pretty successful on pre-treating that off-side. It's, stationed atMammoth Lakes.   It's been there for about three weeks, and it should be here through the duration o...
