Tuesday's Outlook

What an abnormal Monday some of us in WY had with Freezing Fog here in Casper and points out toward Douglas and up North along 25!    When you have Low Hanging Clouds or a disturbance moving in, with Below Freezing Temperatures, and Calm Winds...you get Freezing Fog. 


Dry day all across WY for your Tuesday.  I think the next system to start 'approaching' the Western side of the state will slide into Wednesday Night and should only affect West of the Divide in WY.

--Ridging will start taking shape as an Amplitude Ridge will ramp the moisture farther North and West of us.  While we will see the warm up with the Ridge, folks to our East is seeing the cooler weather pattern with that Trough digging in the Ohio Valley.







With that Ridge of High Pressure building in our neck of woods, Temperatures will warm back up.

Central and Eastern WY could see Temperatures in the upper 40°s and maybe middle 50°s in SE WY. 

*Note how the Northern 1/3 of the State is in the colder Blue colors?...That area will have a higher depth of snow, keeping the Temperatures in the 30°s.






Why the Warmup with the Ridge?  Well, SW flow will increase with (Warm Air Advection) OR Warm wind blowing wind. Wind Corridors along I-80 and up to Casper should stay relatively breezy with winds over 20mph sustained through the day.
