HEAVY SNOW/ STRONG WINDS & A 'Pokes Win!

Before I get to today's Weather, something is brewing down in Laramie..

WYOMING defeated the CU Buffaloes down at the AA last night.  Click HERE for more.  Lets keep this season undefeated until Conference Play.

Okay,  Now its time for the Weather Briefing.  Let me go ahead and get to Central and Eastern WY.
Here are the Current Advisories for Snow/Wind for Sunday.

For the HIGH WIND WARNING, click HERE
--Side note:  It has been whistling as I have been typing this blog post.

For the WINTER STORM WARNING, click HERE.



Central and Eastern WY (Casper/Rawlins/Gillette/Lander) you know what I am talking about..Very Blustery.  Here is the forecasted 'gusts' at 2 PM.  Winds will remain sustained over 30mph through the rest of the day and early evening.

--Wind Rivers, Cody Foothills, Bighorns could see gusts at times over 70+ mph.

--Rawlins, and up to Casper is hazardous travel along WY 220 today and along I-80 to Laramie.

--Traveling to Gillette along WY 50 & 59 will be hazardous.




We are done with the Wind portion, but now lets set sail to the Snow out West.

Current 11AM Radar Image shows a break in the Snowfall, but MORE is expected should arrive from 2-5PM today.

Here is the new 12z Run from the NAM showing the Snow filter in Western WY around 2 PM

--Snow Breaks loose West of the Divide, where the better moisture content is and Jet Energy is capable of producing Heavy Wet Snow.

--May take a little while for the Wind Rivers, since its just a little farther East.







Here is what the GFS looks like around 11PM Tonight:

--Snow will line up and could clip down toward Evanston and into the Salt Lake region.

As the system moves Eastward, could clip some moisture in the Bighorns, but with the wind and not as much Jet Energy, they could get choked off by the snow.  Still a chance of seeing light snow, though.

--Casper could still see that Mix for a brief moment late tonight, as the bulk of the snow will shift towards the Sierra Madre's.

AS FOR MONDAY,  Much Calmer but could still see a few lingering flurries in the Snowy Range and may slide in the Laramie's.
