...THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS WEST AND CENTRAL WYOMING MAY PRODUCE
STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS THIS EVENING...

WIDELY SCATTERED HIGH-BASED THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING ACROSS
WEST AND CENTRAL WYOMING THIS EVENING.  SOME OF THESE HIGH-BASED
STORMS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE DOWNBURST WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 50
MPH.  STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS ARE CAUSED BY RAINFALL FROM THE STORM
EVAPORATING AND COOLING AIR BENEATH THE STORM.
THE COOL AIR BECOMES HEAVIER THAN THE SURROUNDING AIR AND
ACCELERATES TOWARD THE GROUND...WITH THE COOL AIRMASS SPREADING OUT
IN ALL DIRECTIONS ONCE IT STRIKES THE GROUND.  THIS OUTWARD RUSHING
AIR CAN PRODUCE STRONG DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.

IF A STORM APPROACHES YOUR AREA THIS EVENING BE PREPARED FOR THE
POSSIBILITY OF STRONG WIND GUSTS.  STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS IF
INDOORS.  IF OUTDOORS...BE PREPARED FOR STRONG ERRATIC WIND GUSTS
ESPECIALLY IF BOATING ON OPEN WATERS.  ALSO STAY AWAY FROM LARGE
TREES AND POWER LINES THAT ARE ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE TO THESE STRONG
WIND GUSTS.
