AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RIVERTON WY
1103 AM MST TUE JAN 28 2014

.SHORT TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT

RIGHT NOW WE ARE IN THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
CONTROL THE WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AND BRING A DRY DAY WITH
SUNSHINE AND ONLY SOME PATCHY CLOUDS. THE PREVIOUS FORECAST HAD SOME
PATCHY FOG IN THE NORMALLY PRONE AREAS AND THIS STILL LOOKS GOOD SO
IT WAS KEPT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW NORMAL ONCE
AGAIN...ESPECIALLY AFTER THE COLD START THIS MORNING. WITH THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENING ACROSS THE STATE WITH THE APPROACHING
STORM TO THE WEST...SOME GUSTY BREEZES WILL RETURN ACROSS THE
NORMALLY PRONE AREAS LIKE EAST OF THE ABSAROKAS AND THE SOUTHWESTERN
WIND CORRIDOR.

NOW FOR THE PAIN THE BUTT PART...BASICALLY THE REST OF THE SHORT
TERM PERIOD. ALL MODELS NOW KEEP THE AREA DRY THROUGH THIS EVENING.
EVEN THROUGH MUCH OF TOMORROW NIGHT LOOKS DRY IN THE WESTERN
MOUNTAINS WITH MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION HOLDING OFF UNTIL AFTER
ABOUT 2 AM AND POSSIBLY UNTIL AFTER 5 AM. HOWEVER...WARM ADVECTION
SOMETIMES BREAKS OUT EARLIER THAN THE MODELS SHOW.
NEVERTHELESS...THE CURRENT WATCH LOOKS REASONABLE AND WE WILL
CONTINUE IT AS IS. DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE EAST OF THE DIVIDE.

THINGS GET MESSIER ON WEDNESDAY. PRECIPITATION...AND A GOOD AMOUNT
OF IT STILL LOOKS VERY LIKELY FOR THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS WITH THE
PACIFIC ORIGIN OF THE SYSTEM. THE GFS DOES SHOW SOMEWHAT WARMER AIR
CREEPING UP FROM THE SOUTH WITH MINUS 4 DEGREES AT 700 MILLIBARS
POSSIBLY MAKING IT UP AS FAR AS THE STAR VALLEY. THIS COULD LEAD TO
SOME MIXING THAT COULD HOLD DOWN ACCUMULATIONS DURING THE DAY ON
WEDNESDAY. AS FOR EAST OF THE DIVIDE...ALL MODELS ARE CONSISTENT IN
KEEPING THINGS DRY IN THE MORNING SO WE REMOVED POPS BEFORE 18Z
EXCEPT FOR THE MOUNTAINS. IN ADDITION...WINDS MAY BECOME STRONG WITH
700 MILLIBAR WINDS INCREASING TO 40 TO 50 KNOTS AND UP TO 60 KNOTS
IN SWEETWATER COUNTY. AS A RESULT...EXPECT A BREEZY TO WINDY DAY IN
MANY AREAS EAST OF THE DIVIDE. THIS WILL ALSO HAVE A DOWNSLOPING
EFFECT THAT WOULD KEEP MOST AREAS DRY DURING THE DAY. FOR NOW...WE
LEFT SLIGHT POPS IN FOR THE AFTERNOON BUT OUR GUT FEELING IS THAT A
VAST MAJORITY OF THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ON WEDNESDAY EAST OF THE DIVIDE
WILL BE PRECIPITATION FREE.

THE INTENSITY OF THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD LET UP A BIT ON WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT. HOWEVER...A CONTINUED INFLUX
OF PACIFIC MOISTURE AND FAVORABLE OROGRAPHICS AND SOME JET SUPPORT
WILL KEEP LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW CONTINUING IN THE WEST THROUGH THE
NIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY. THE SITUATION IS STILL MUDDY EAST OF THE
DIVIDE HOWEVER. THE NAM CONTINUES TO BE THE DRIEST MODEL WITH THE
BEST SNOW SPLITTING OVER SOUTHERN MONTANA AND INTO SOUTHERN WYOMING
AND NORTHERN COLORADO. THE GFS IS ALSO RATHER DRY. THE EUROPEAN
CONTINUES TO BE THE WETTEST BUT EVEN IT HAS BACKED OFF ON
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A VERY STRONG JET
OF 150 KNOTS DROPPING INTO THE STATE STARTING WEDNESDAY NIGHT .SOME
AREAS...ESPECIALLY NORTHERN WYOMING COULD BE IN THE FAVORED LEFT
FRONT QUADRANT FOR A WHILE TO ENHANCE LIFT. HOWEVER...DOWNSLOPING
MAY MITIGATE THIS A BIT. FOR NOW...GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY...WE MADE
FEW CHANGES TO CONTINUITY FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. THE LAST
PROBLEM IS ON THURSDAY NIGHT. THE EUROPEAN CONTINUES TO HAVE THE
MOST PRECIPITATION WITH A 700 MILLIBAR LOW APPROACHING SOUTHERN
WYOMING AND SPREADING A GOOD SHIELD OF SNOW ACROSS AROUND THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA. THE NAM AND GFS KEEP THE
LOW FURTHER SOUTH AND ALSO KEEP THE PRECIPITATION FURTHER SOUTH.
AGAIN...GIVEN THE LACK OF MODEL AGREEMENT THE BEST SOLUTION WAS TO
LET CONTINUITY RIDE.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

A SHORTWAVE TROUGH AROUND CENTRAL/NORTHERN CALIFORNIA EARLY FRIDAY
IS PROJECTED TO ZIP EASTWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES LATE FRIDAY
AND EMERGE INTO THE PLAINS FRIDAY NIGHT. AT THE SAME TIME...SOME
NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY WILL DROP SOUTHWARD OUT OF CANADA. THE 00Z
ECMWF AND GEM INDICATE ISENTROPIC LIFT OVER A DISTINCT 700MB
BAROCLINIC ZONE OVER SOUTHERN WYOMING...WITH THE ECMWF SHOWING A BIT
OF CIRCULATION MOVING ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. ON THE OTHER HAND...THE
GFS...AND THE 06Z NAM12 KEEPS THE BAROCLINIC ZONE AND MUCH OF THE
PRECIPITATION FARTHER SOUTH INTO UTAH AND COLORADO. WILL HAVE CHANCE
POPS SOUTH DECREASING TO SLIGHT OVER THE NORTH FRIDAY.

FROM THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE
DOMINATED MORE BY A DRIER NORTHERN STREAM. THERE WILL STILL BE
PERIODIC DISTURBANCES DROPPING OUT OF CANADA...BUT CURRENTLY THEY
SEEM RELATIVELY WEAK WITH LITTLE MOISTURE AVAILABLE. THUS HAVE KEPT
MAINLY SLIGHT TO LOW CHANCE POPS OVER THE NORTHWEST/NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS. WOULD EXPECT SOME LIGHT SNOW TO OCCUR IN THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS AT TIMES...BUT DUE TO TIMING AND EXTENT OF THE LIGHT
SNOWFALL WILL KEEP MUCH OF THE LOWER ELEVATIONS DRY FOR NOW.

BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY DURING THE EXTENDED...WITH
AREAS EAST OF THE DIVIDE SEEING TEMPS 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE
AT TIMES.

.AVIATION.../18Z UPDATE/

WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS ROUTES

THIS WILL BE THE LAST GOOD FLYING DAY FOR A WHILE...CONDITIONS
DETERIORATING AFTER 06Z WED AS A STRONG WINTER STORM APPROACHES.
FREQUENT MTN OBSCURATIONS AND MVFR CIGS PREVAILING AFTER 10Z AT
KJAC...SPREADING EAST THROUGH 18Z WED WITH MVFR CONDITIONS
PREVAILING AT ALL TERMINALS WITH FREQUENT IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS
AT KJAC AFTER 14Z WED. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE FROM THE WEST THIS
EVENING WITH GUSTS OVER 60KT EXPECTED OVER HIGHER TERRAIN WITH
SUSTAINED 25 TO 30 KNOT WINDS ALONG THE I80 CORRIDOR INCLUDING
KRKS BY 21Z WED...CONTINUING THROUGH 12Z THU. IN
ADDITION...PERIODS OF LLWS WILL BE PRESENT AT KCOD AND
KPNA...CHECK TAFS FOR MAGNITUDE AND TIMING.

EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL ROUTES

EXPECT A GUSTY WIND TO DEVELOP AT KCPR TERMINAL SITE OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS AND CONTINUING THROUGH 12Z THU...WITH THE STRONGEST

TIME. FREQUENT MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS...WITH LOWERING CIGS AFTER
00Z THU AS A WINTER STORM APPROACHES.

.FIRE WEATHER...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING DRY WEATHER THROUGH THIS EVENING. GUSTY
WEST TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM ROCK SPRINGS THROUGH
CASPER THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. A
SYSTEM MOVING IN FROM THE WEST WILL BRING A GOOD CHANCE OF SNOW
ACROSS THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS STARTING LATE TONIGHT AND CONTINUING
THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK.
