Much of our Thursday was Sunny with an increase of clouds, but very Warm Temperatures as we Tied for our Warmest day of the Year so far here in Casper. Here is a recap of how 'Warm' it got.
NOW, lets get to Friday's Forecast:
Temperature wise, we will stay warm in the Mid to Upper 60°s for many of us in Central & Eastern WY. Could squeeze out a few 70°s East of the Laramies, possibly in Wheatland or Torrington area.
COLD Front will slide through the Afternoon/Evening Hours bringing the 'best' chances of rain West of the Divide, Bighorns, I-80 Corridor just West of the Laramies and Black Hills. However, Central WY could still see a chance of a Shower.
(BELOW) This is the GFS Model for Friday Evening at 6PM showing you the coverage of the Showers:
Saturday looks Slightly Cooler in the lower 60°s for much of Central WY with a very small chance of a Shower and on Sunday.
EARLY WEEK:
BIG CHANGES are on the way as a Cold Front will slide in from the North to the South in WY and then an Upper Level Low from the Southwest Basins/Desert will drift to the North around CO.
What does this mean? Here is what the GFS is showing...
(ABOVE) Very strong Low deepening at 988mb in East-Central CO with a Northeast wind flow; supporting Upslope in Casper and the Laramies. PLUS, our 540 (Freezing Line) is represented showing how 'Cold' it could get again..meaning WINTER is not over yet.
Timing: I think we'll mostly see a Rain/Snow mix as we head into Monday, but as the Colder Air gets closer and the shift of wind is out of the NE that evening..watch out! RIGHT NOW, I think the biggest risk areas are: Casper, Laramies, Shirley Basin, Sierra/Snowy's, and all along 25 South through Cheyenne and rest of SE WY.
METEOGRAM TIME ( Snowfall Projections)
Casper: 3-5"
Cheyenne: 8-13"
