1/7: Unsettled Week for WY

Good Tuesday Evening Folks

Quite a CLOUDY Afternoon for all as Temperatures were cooler than Forecasted.  Otherwise, at leas the Winds were much calmer; except I-80 near Sweetwater County.

WEDNESDAY looks to be the same, but maybe a little bit more Sunshine is possible IF the morning clouds scour away. Breezy at times, but Temperatures should stay Seasonal.  Dry for much of Central WY and along the I-25 Corridor.  As for Western WY, we have more Shortwaves (pieces of energy from Low Pressure) that will bring Snow Chances once again with Light Amounts.

<< Western WY will stay in the 20°s but this "Moist" Zonal Flow (West to East Air Flow) favors this setup.









THURSDAY looks to be the Next "Cold Front" forecasted to push through Western/Central/Southeastern WY.  The NAM Model Guidance (below) shows Light to Moderate Snowfall for Western WY and once the Front slides in Central WY, the 'chance' of Light Snow is possible; only with small accumulation. A Trough will develop for Central WY so expect another Breezy Aftenoon in the Wind Prone Corridors.

FRIDAY Looks to be unsettled as it'll stay Breezy/Dry with Seasonal Temperatures, with more Snow Chances through the day for Western WY, but SATURDAY looks to be Active.  Balmy & Blustery with Mild Temperatures but SNOW increases once again out West later in the Evening.  I'll break down that Forecast in a couple days but Central WY could see a "snow chance" with this by Sunday Morning.
