Wednesday's Outlook and Turkey Day Forecast

A Beautiful Tuesday, but still breezy for the majority of us here in WY.  Expect the same conditions, but a touch Warmer and Windier as an approaching Cold Front from the West filters in.

Lets get to the Warm Temperatures 1st:

Lines denote just where Temperatures could be for our Wednesday.  Casper could creep into the 60°s, but if you saw them today, expect the same for Wednesday.

Extreme SE WY, such as Torrington,  may touch the 70°s.  Majority of the Warm Air will remain in the Great Plains in NE down to Texas.





Other Story to discuss, besides the Warm Temperatures, will be the Windy Conditions. Wind Corridors along the:  Wind Rivers, I-80 and up to Casper, in NW WY around the Mountains will be the portions of seeing those Windy Conditions in advance of an approaching Cold Front later Wednesday Evening.

--  These are sustained Winds around 1PM during the max heating of the day and the Reds show over 30..and Gusts up to 50-60.  Hazardous Travel for the families so hold onto the steering wheel very firmly.







Besides the Temperatures, Wind...now its time to talk about the other side of the state...SNOWY SIDE

Not a lot of Dynamics with this, but some Isentropic Lift (Over running of moisture on top of moisture) will give some of the Higher Elevations a good dose of snow..should expect the same amount or so in the same spots from this past Sunday's system...Take A Look!

-Wind Rivers, Salt Mountains, Absarokas, Tetons will get majority of the Snow..BUT, if the system takes a GFS Track for Early Thursday, BIGHORNS may get a couple Inches.












And here is the Weather Map from the GFS, who is a little more aggressive with the QPF.  Should see some Light to Moderate Snowfall by Wednesday Evening in Far Western WY and filtering in by Midnight. Just remaining cloudy and windy with cooler air filtering through East of the Divide. FYI, A High Wind Watch will be in effect thru Late Wednesday.

As for the Rest of the Day for Thanksgiving, Models have been hinting 'cooler' Temperatures and nearing Seasonable as High's may hold in the lower 40°s.  Staying Dry though, but a snowflake could fall in the Higher elevations around the Bighorn's.
