12/13: METEOR Shower and SnowTalk for Next Week

EVENING FOLKS!

We are talking Meteors late Tonight!  The GEMINID Meteor Shower will occur during the Overnight Hours and up to 50 Meteors/HR are Possible!  For more Info click  HERE




WEEKEND & EARLY NEXT WEEK looks to be Mild, Breezy & Dry.  A Ridge begins to develop and I won't be surprised if we'll see a few 50°s along the Laramies from Glenrock towards Cheyenne.

SNOW THREAT does Increase when we roll into Thursday & Friday now.  BOTH Long Range models (GFS & EURO) continues to show the conditions deteriorating by Thursday late Afternoon and early evening for Central WY.  
- Snow could be Moderate in Intensity (1"/HR) with Snow Rates so we have to watch these models very carefully through the Weekend.  

<< 11PM THURSDAY shows a Broad Low of 1008mb in UT/CO and providing Upslope in Central WY and along the Laramies.  

** EURO Model has been inconsistent with the Storm moving in much Faster being a Quick-Hitter and showing not so much on the Snow Chance.  Its been about 6-12HRS Faster than the GFS, so watching how Both of these Guidance Models take it the Storm through the Weekend.



After the Snow, the COLD Air Invades! ARCTIC Air plows in by Friday with High's that could only reach in the Single Digits and Lows likely dropping Sub-Zero once again.  IF we see a decent snowpack, expect COLDER Temperatures than other spots that don't see as much.


GFS did pretty well last week with the Forecast on the Temperatures.

CASPER, by looking at this, could drop down to 
-5 to -15° next Friday Night.







THOUGHTS:  As Always, we are still a Week away from the Start of the Storm and its effects, but the GFS Guidance has stayed consistent this week for the SnowStorm.  The potential is there for another Moderate Snowfall event (6-10") but we will see how Models trend through the Weekend.
