9/26: The SNOW IS HERE

11:00 PM Thursday


GOOD Late Evening Folks,

The SNOW has arrived and talk about a lot of heavy/wet flakes for parts of Central WY in Riverton & Lander areas. 
LATEST: You can see that Large/Deep Low shooting moisture from CO/UT Northward into Central WY in the Wind Rivers, Casper area, & Bighorns.  We will continue this same trend as Light to Moderate Snowfall will stay with us through the Overnight.  However, a new Low will slowly form to our Southeast in Northeastern CO providing more upslope and maybe a chance of Casper to see a "light snow" chance.

We will continue the Winter Storm Warnings for Lander and the Wind River's E&W Slopes until Noon Friday. Elsewhere, we will keep the Winter Weather Advisories until Noon Friday for lesser amounts of Snowfall:

As we wake up in the Morning, Light to Moderate Snowfall should continue in the Wind Rivers, Basins, and up in the Mountains.  Casper can see some light snow to maybe a mixture. I think several places will see that chance of seeing some Mixed Precip along I-90 as well from Buffalo to Sundance.  However, maybe a few Rain Showers E of the Laramies, as they may see a Cold Rain














NOON FRIDAY:  Snow should come to an end and Transition to a Rain/Mix for many spots as Temps should rise in the Mid to Upper 30°s to Lower 40°s.  A lot of the activity should decrease but the Moisture will shift farther East in the Black Hills

FRIDAY 6PM:  We could see some residual moisture as the Front moves out of Central WY and the Temperatures could be just slightly above Freezing with a Rain/Mix near Cheyenne for the Commute home.  Cold/Dry for the rest of the Evening AND Saturday looks fine. Sunny & Dry, a touch Cool in the 50°s

HOW MUCH SNOW COULD WE ALL SEE?

<< Some could see banding of this Precip so expect higher amounts if Bands do form.  

* Not so much of a Storm for Casper as we stayed Warmer on Thursday as Temps had trouble to drop fast. 

<< The Mountains will gobble up a lot of this Snow.  And this goes the same for the Mountains...if any banding occurs, expect isol'd higher amounts..maybe a Foot and a Half???
