AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RIVERTON WY
1158 PM MDT FRI MAR 16 2012

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY

A FEW SHOWERS HAVE MOVED INTO WESTERN WYOMING THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH LIGHT RAIN BEGINNING TO FALL AROUND JACKSON AT
230 PM. MEANWHILE...EAST OF THE DIVIDE WELL ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES...WITH DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUE. RECORD HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN JEOPARDY BOTH THIS AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY
BEFORE A CHANGE IN THE PATTERN IMPACTS THE COWBOY STATE.

A DEEP PACIFIC TROUGH IS CURRENTLY DIGGING SOUTH IN THE EASTERN
PACIFIC UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A 170KT JET...THIS CONTINUES TO
AMPLIFY THE RIDGE ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS. MODELS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT THAT AS THIS TROUGH SLOWLY PROGRESSES EAST
SATURDAY...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN ACROSS THE
STATE...BRINGING BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY EAST OF
THE DIVIDE. THESE WINDS WILL COMBINE WITH NEAR RECORD
TEMPERATURES...MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES IN THE TEENS AND
20S...AND SUFFICIENT DRY FUELS TO WARRANT THE ISSUANCE OF A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. WEAK
SHORTWAVES WILL CONTINUE TO EJECT EAST FROM THE PRIMARY TROUGH
THROUGH SATURDAY AND COMBINE WITH THE MOIST PACIFIC AIR MASS...TO
BRING A CONTINUED CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE WESTERN
MOUNTAINS THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH DAYTIME SNOW LEVELS REMAINING
ELEVATED AROUND 8000 FEET...AND DROPPING TO 6500-7500 FEET DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. AS THE FLOW BACKS AND BECOMES MORE
SOUTHERLY...IT WILL BECOME LESS FAVORABLE FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW
ACCUMULATION ACROSS THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS...THUS HAVE SLIGHTLY
REDUCED QPF VALUES. HOWEVER...MID LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL
ALLOW FOR SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE LIFTED INDICES AND SMALL CAPE VALUES
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...OPENING THE DOOR FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS WESTERN WYOMING. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE REDUCES THUNDERSTORM
PROBABILITIES FOR SATURDAY NIGHT...THUS HAVE REMOVED MENTION IN
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

THE MAIN TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN
WYOMING EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...DROPPING SNOW LEVELS BELOW THE VALLEY
FLOORS...AND INCREASING THE CHANCE OF SNOW ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST.
THIS FRONT WILL SLIDE EAST OF THE DIVIDE SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY
EVENING...SPREADING SHOWERS AND MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES EAST OF
THE DIVIDE. OVERNIGHT LOWS EAST OF THE DIVIDE WILL LIKELY DROP
INTO THE MID 20S EAST OF THE DIVIDE AND INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS AND
TEENS IN THE WEST. THE MAIN TROUGH THEN SPLITS IN IN TWO...WITH
THE LEADING MID LEVEL CIRCULATION FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHEAST
ACROSS THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE STATE EARLY MONDAY...WITH THE
SECOND FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND. THESE CIRCULATIONS WILL INCREASE
THE CHANCE OF PRECIP ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE STATE
MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY

A BROAD COMPLEX LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO RAKE ACROSS THE
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST INTO THE PLAINS EARLY IN THE PERIOD. A WIDESPREAD
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION EXISTS ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT AS THE
COLD POOL ALOFT SETTLES IN AND MAINTAINS AN UNSTABLE AIR MASS...IN
ADDITION TO A SECONDARY REINFORCING SHORT WAVE TROUGH ON THE BACK
SIDE OF THE MAIN TROUGH...THE BACK SIDE OF THE MAIN TROUGH SHIFTS
FLOW MORE TO THE WNW AND THEREFORE THE PRECIPITATION FOCUS BACK TO
THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS BY TUESDAY.

A COLDER AIR MASS MOVES IN WITH THE TROUGH...BELOW AVERAGE
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY WITH SOME RECOVERY BY WEDNESDAY AS
WARMER AIR MOVES IN WITH THE RIDGING BEHIND THE TROUGH.

AS THE SOUTHERN CUT OFF LOW MEANDERS ACROSS THE SOUTH CENTRAL STATES
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT
WITH HAVING A TROUGH PUSH EAST ACROSS THE EASTERN PACIFIC TO JUST
OFF THE WEST COAST BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS TROUGH IS PROJECTED TO
MOVE VERY LITTLE ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS RIDGING SURGES NORTH FROM
MEXICO AND WELL INTO THE NORTHERN TIER STATES BY FRIDAY EVENING
...THEREBY BLOCKING THE TROUGHS PROGRESSION AND BRINGING ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES BACK TO THE AREA FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION.../06Z ISSUANCE/

WEST OF THE DIVIDE...A MOIST SW FLOW WILL CONTINUE INTO THE TETON
RANGE AND VCNTY KJAC OVERNIGHT ALONG WITH SCT MVFR
-SHSN/-SHRA...SNOW LEVELS REMAINING NEAR 8KFT.  A DECREASE IN
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED 12Z-18Z SAT.  AN INCREASINGLY MOIST AND
UNSTABLE SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP SATURDAY AFTERNOON SPREADING
SCT -SHRA AND ISOLD -TSRA NORTH...VCNTY AND WEST OF A KEVW-KBPI-KJAC
LINE WITH ACTIVITY REMAINING MORE ISOLD EAST OF THIS LINE.  A COLD
FRONT WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA AFTER 09Z SUNDAY RESULTING IN SNOW
LEVELS LOWERING TO VALLEY FLOORS AND MORE WIDESPREAD MVFR...AREAS OF
IFR CONDITIONS SPREADING EAST THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING.

EAST OF THE DIVIDE...A STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BRING GUSTY
SOUTHERLY SFC WIND 20-30KT WITH GUSTS TO 40KT ACROSS MOST AREAS 18Z
SAT-02Z SUN.  THE SFC WINDS WILL SUBSIDE AFTER 02Z
SUN...DECOUPLING FROM THE STRONGER WINDS ALOFT...RESULTING IN
AREAS OF LLWS.   OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE
PERIOD WITH MAINLY SCT-BKN MID AND HIGH CLOUDS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

VERY DRY...BREEZY AND WARM CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE EAST OF THE
DIVIDE THIS EVENING. SATURDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE WORSE...WITH MINIMUM
RHS EXPECTED TO DROP WELL INTO THE TEENS IN JOHNSON AND NATRONA
COUNTIES...WITH MID TO UPPER TEENS EXPECTED IN FREMONT AND EASTERN
SWEETWATER COUNTIES. THE WINDS WILL ALSO BE ELEVATED...WITH THE
STRONGEST WINDS AND LOWEST RHS EXPECTED IN NATRONA COUNTY AND
SOUTHERN JOHNSON COUNTY. THIS COMBINATION HAS LED TO THE ISSUANCE OF
A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN THESE AREAS FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON. A COLD
FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH FROM WEST TO EAST ON SUNDAY...WHICH SHOULD
ALLOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TO MODERATE.

LIGHT AND OCCASIONALLY MODERATE RAIN AND SNOW WILL CONTINUE IN
THE FAR WEST TONIGHT. RAIN AND SNOW AND EVEN SOME ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR SATURDAY AS THE FLOW BACKS FROM WEST
SOUTHWEST TO SOUTHERLY AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING STRONG PACIFIC COLD
FRONT. ON SUNDAY PRECIPITATION WILL SPILL OVER TO AREAS EAST OF
THE DIVIDE WITH THE MOST PRECIPITATION REMAINING IN THE WEST. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER IN THE WEST SUNDAY AND
UP TO 10 TO 15 DEGREES COOLER EAST OF THE DIVIDE.
