.UPDATE...

WENT AHEAD AND UPGRADED THE WINTER STORMS WATCHES TO WARNINGS.
FORECAST REASONING REMAINS AS IS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 846 PM MST TUE JAN 28 2014/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY

ACTIVE SHORT TERM PERIOD WITH A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING OVER THE
NEXT THREE DAYS. QUIET BUT COLD DAY TODAY WITH STRONG INVERSIONS
HOLDING IN THE BASINS AND VALLEYS. EVEN THE FRESHLY SNOW COVERED
AREAS LIKE CASPER ARE STRUGGLING INTO THE 20S. OUT WEST...
TEMPERATURES ARE JUST TRYING TO GET INTO THE DOUBLE DIGITS FOR A
SHORT WHILE. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE TRICKY WITH INCREASING CLOUDS
THIS EVENING IN THE WEST AND DEVELOPING WINDS ALONG THE FOOTHILLS
OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY THE CODY FOOTHILLS ZONE.
RAPIDLY FALLING PRESSURES OVER MONTANA COMBINED WITH CREATE AN
INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE ABSAROKA MOUNTAINS AND
THEN INCREASING SUBSIDENCE ALOFT WITH AN APPROACHING JET WILL
CREATE A MOUNTAIN WAVE INDUCED GAP FLOW EVENT FOR OUR FAVORED CODY
FOOTHILLS AREA. THE AREA NEAR AND JUST SOUTH OF CLARK AND JUST
SOUTH OF CODY WILL BE MOST FAVORABLE FOR SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR 40
MPH WITH GUSTS OVER 60 MPH TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING BEFORE
DECREASING. THE WEST WILL BE IMPACTED ON WEDNESDAY BY A FAST
APPROACHING JET OF AT LEAST 150KTS WITH FAVORABLE MOIST ISENTROPIC
UPGLIDE WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING. IT LOOKS LIKE MOST OF
THE SNOW WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER 12Z SO HAVE DELAYED THE START
TIME OF THE WINTER STORM WATCHES TO 12Z IN THE FAR WEST AND 15Z
FOR THE EASTERN HALF OF THE WATCH AREA. HEAVIEST SNOW LOOKS TO BE
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVES
ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH A COUPLE WEAKER DISTURBANCES
MOVING WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY. FORCING
SEEMS RATHER LIMITED DURING THIS PERIOD BUT ON THE OTHER HAND...WE
CONTINUE WITH FAIRLY STRONG H7 WINDS AND STEEP LAPSE RATES FROM
THURSDAY ONWARD OF 7C/KM OR GREATER SO IT WON'T TAKE MUCH FORCING
TO LIFT THE MOIST ATMOSPHERE. 10 TO 20 INCHES SEEMS REASONABLE IN
THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS WITH 5 TO 10 INCHES IN MANY LOWER OF THE
LOWER ELEVATIONS OF THE WEST. THE COMBINATION OF SIGNIFICANT SNOW
AND WIND WILL MAKE FOR A HIGH IMPACT STORM...PARTICULARLY
WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE SOUTHERN CORRIDOR SHOULD GET A
SWATH OF SNOW WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. IN THE NORTH...THE
INITIAL NORTHERN FRONT WILL SET UP ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND LIKELY
BE ENHANCED ON THURSDAY WITH A GENERAL SAGGING OF THE WESTERLIES.
THE BIG HORN BASIN...ESPECIALLY NORTH AND EAST WILL LIKELY SEE
SOME SNOW DURING THIS PERIOD ALONG WITH THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF
JOHNSON COUNTY. THE BIGHORN MOUNTAINS SHOULD GET AT LEAST ADVISORY
AMOUNTS LATER WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY BUT THE NORTHWESTERN CORNER OF
THE AREA IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO WARNING AMOUNTS WITH THE INCREASING
LAPSE RATES AND MODERATELY STRONG NW MID LEVEL FLOW. THE FRONT
WILL TRY TO SAG ALL THE WAY SOUTH INTO FREMONT AND NATRONA
COUNTIES THURSDAY SO WE'LL HAVE TO WATCH FOR THAT POTENTIAL. BACK
TO WIND...SHOULD SEE SOME STRONG WINDS ACROSS THE WIND CORRIDOR
WEDNESDAY AND IN SWEETWATER COUNTY WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT
WITH A PERIOD OF SNOW WHICH COULD ICE UP THE ROADS. NW WINDS WILL
ALSO TRY AND MIX DOWN FROM THE DUBOIS/CROWHEART INTO THE WIND
RIVER BASIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND POTENTIALLY OFF THE LANDER
FOOTHILLS. ANOTHER DISTURBANCES DROPS SE IN THE COLD NW FLOW ON
FRIDAY WITH CONTINUED STEEP LAPSE RATES AND CHANCES FOR
SNOW...MAINLY IN THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS BUT THE GFS IS
SHOWING ANOTHER WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGGING INTO THE NORTH HALF
OF THE AREA DURING THE DAY FRIDAY

LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY

UPR LVLS IN THE LR MDLS IN GOOD AGREEMENT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
PERIOD...THRU AT LEAST SUNDAY MORNING...BEFORE SOME MODEST
DEVIATIONS IN AMPLITUDE AND TIMING START TO BECOME MORE
EVIDENT...FORCING SFC PARAMETERS OF EACH MDL TO DIVERGE. BY SUNDAY
NIGHT...THE EFFECTS OF THESE DIFFERENCES BEGIN TO SHOW IN THE RH AND
PRECIP FIELDS. THIS ALL LEADS BACK TO A RIDGE RUNNING SW TOPPING THE
RIDGE THURSDAY NIGHT NEAR AND N OF THE SWRN YUKON AREA INTO THE
POLAR REGIONS...AND THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THAT IS
DRAGGED/TRANSPORTED INTO THE FLOW AT THAT TIME. THE GFS IS GOING FOR
BROKE AND BRINGING WITH IT MORE THAN THE EURO TO BEGIN WITH...AND
THEN IS FORMING A BRUTALLY STRONG HIGH SOONER THAN THE EURO...
COMBINING THIS WITH A LOW PRESS SYSTEM THAT FORMED ACROSS THE SW
CONUS OVR THE WEEKEND...GIVING A PERIOD OF MOIST ERLY UPGLIDE THAT
IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN ON SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE CONVERGING OVR THE STATE
BY MONDAY NIGHT...KEEPING COLD AND SNOW AROUND THROUGHOUT THE DAY
TUE. WHILE THE UPR PATTERN OF THE EURO IS SIMILAR TO THE GFS...IT IS
NOT AS LENIENT IN BRINGING THE SAME MOISTURE DOWN FROM THE NORTH
POLE REGIONS...AND DOES NOT BUILD THE STRONG ARCTIC HIGH INTO THE
REGION QUITE AS FAST...AND THUS NO MOISTURE ENHANCEMENT FROM
DEVELOPING ERLY UPSLOPE AS W/THE GFS. ATTM...GOING WITH THE MIDDLE
ROAD AS FAR AS PRECIP/SNOW CHCS IN THE EXTENDED...WITH POPS MAINLY
OUT IN THE WRN/NWRN MOUNTAINS PLUS BIGHORNS. AS FOR TEMPS...SIDED
JUST A BIT MORE WITH THE GFS AND A SLIGHTLY COLDER SOLUTION.
