AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RIVERTON WY
242 PM MST FRI NOV 21 2014

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY

AN INTERESTING PERIOD. RELATIVELY BENIGN CONDITIONS EXPECTED
DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS TONIGHT...WITH A SIGNIFICANT WINTER
SYSTEM EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
SNOWFALL WILL BEGIN BEFORE MIDNIGHT...WITH ACTIVITY AND COVERAGE
INCREASING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SNOWFALL RATES WILL
INCREASE DURING THE MORNING HOURS...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 0500 AND
1100 SATURDAY. SNOWFALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE
IMPACT THE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH ACTIVITY SPREADING TO
INCLUDE PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN WYOMING DURING SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE SIGNIFICANT ACROSS THE WESTERN
MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS...WITH SOME LESSER AMOUNTS EXPECTED ACROSS
SOUTHERN WYOMING. STORM STORM WILL CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY
NIGHT...WITH FURTHER DETAILS ON TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS COVERED IN THE
LONG TERM SECTION.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
THE SHORTWAVE EJECTED BY THE LOW SPINNING AROUND IN THE ALEUTIANS
WILL BE CROSSING OVER OUR AREA AROUND 06Z SATURDAY NIGHT. AFTER THE
FROPA...THE SNOWFALL INTENSITY WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH IN THE WEST.
HOWEVER...MANY AREAS OF SWEETWATER COUNTY SHOULD SEE 2 TO 3 INCHES
OF SNOWFALL SATURDAY NIGHT FROM THE COMBINATION OF THE ASCT STRONG
PACIFIC COLD FRONT AND Q VECTOR FORCING. THE WIND RIVER BASIN ALMOST
ALWAYS MANAGES TO RECEIVE AT LEAST JUST UNDER AN INCH OF SNOWFALL
WHENEVER CENTRAL WYOMING RECEIVES THE BRUNT OF THE 700MB COLD PUNCH
FROM A CLASSIC CATAFRONT LIKE THIS ONE AS WILL BE THE CASE SATURDAY
NIGHT...SO INCREASED POPS THERE AS WELL AS ADDED CORRESPONDING SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS THERE. JOHNSON COUNTY IS ANOTHER AREA TO WATCH FOR
MORE PRECIP SINCE THAT AREA WILL BE CLOSER TO THE 700MB LOW TRACKING
EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS NORTH DAKOTA BUT THE PRECIP THERE WILL START
AS RAIN SO NOT EXPECTING TOO MUCH IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATING SNOW
THERE. SNOW TOTALS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES WILL BE COMMON IN THE BIG HORN
MTNS.

AS FAR AS SNOW TOTALS GO IN THE FAR WEST...BY 12Z SUNDAY MORNING WE
WILL BE LOOKING AT 12 TO 20 INCHES IN THE TETONS...GROS VENTRE
RANGE...SALT AND WYOMING RANGES AND ALONG AND WEST OF THE DIVIDE IN
THE WIND RIVER MTNS ALONG WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS OF UP TO 26 INCHES. THE
JACKSON VALLEY CAN EXPECT 8 TO 12 INCHES WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS
EXPECTED IN THE NORTH. THE STAR VALLEY WILL SEE 6 TO 8 INCHES.
SOUTHERN LINCOLN COUNTY WILL SEE 2 TO 4 INCHES AROUND OPAL AND 4 TO
8 INCHES AROUND COKEVILLE. YELLOWSTONE PARK WILL HAVE SNOW TOTALS
RANGING FROM 16 INCHES IN THE SOUTHWEST TO 3 TO 8 INCHES IN THE
NORTH INCLUDING MAMMOTH. THE ABSAROKAS WILL SEE UP TO A FOOT IN THE
WEST TO MAINLY 3 TO 10 INCHES IN THE EAST. AREAS JUST WEST OF DUBOIS
WILL SEE 4 TO 8 INCHES WITH 1 TO 3 INCHES JUST TO THE EAST. THE
UPPER GREEN RIVER FOOTHILLS WILL SEE AROUND 9 INCHES AT BONDURANT TO
5 INCHES IN PINEDALE. THE UPPER GREEN RIVER BASIN WILL SEE 3 TO 6
INCHES.

POST FRONTAL 7 TO 8MB...3 HOURLY SFC PRESSURE RISES WILL KEEP
POST FRONTAL NW WINDS UP THROUGH MID DAY SATURDAY IN THE 30 TO 40
MPH RANGE WITH GUSTS TO 50 MPH IN THE WIND RIVER BASIN AND NORTHERN
JOHNSON COUNTY. HIGH TEMPERATURES SUNDAY SHOULD BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES
COLDER SUNDAY THAN ON SATURDAY MOST AREAS. OCCASIONAL SNOWFALL WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY IN THE FAR WEST AS A SERIES
OF VORT LOBES PARADES WITHIN THE NORTHWEST FLOW WITH ONE DISTINCT
SHORTWAVE COMING THROUGH MONDAY. ON TUESDAY THE JET STREAM WILL PASS
OVERHEAD AS IT SLIDES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST OF US WHICH WILL PULL IN
MORE MOISTURE FROM THE NORTHWEST CONTINUING THE LIGHT TO
OCCASIONALLY MODERATE SNOW IN THE NORTHWEST MTNS. EXCEPT FOR SOME
CONTINUING LIGHT SNOW IN THE BIG HORN MTNS...AREAS EAST OF THE
DIVIDE WILL DRY OUT AFTER SATURDAY NIGHT. FOR THE REST OF THE
WEEK... TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THU...THE GFS AND THE EURO HAVE COME
MORE IN LINE WITH A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST
WITH A GRADUAL WARMING TREND. HOWEVER...WITH THE RIDGE AXIS STILL TO
THE WEST AND CONTINUING NW FLOW...WILL KEEP LOW POPS IN THE NORTHERN
AND CENTRAL MTNS FOR THIS TIME FRAME. WOULD RATHER WAIT FOR MORE RUN
TO RUN MODEL CONSISTENCY BEFORE WE WOULD BE WILLING TO TONE DOWN THE
MTN POPS ANY MORE THAN THEY ALREADY ARE...ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A
SENSITIVE TIME OF THE MONTH GIVEN ALL THE HOLIDAY TRAVELERS.
