AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RIVERTON WY
1101 AM MDT FRI OCT 30 2015

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT

CLEARING FROM WEST TO EAST THIS MORNING AS A WEAK SYSTEM MOVES OUT
OF THE REGION. LATEST MODEL RUNS WERE LESS AGGRESSIVE WITH
PRECIPITATION COVERAGE AND ARE QUICKER TO CLEAR THINGS OUT EAST OF
THE DIVIDE THAN THE PREVIOUS SEVERAL RUNS...WHICH SEEMS TO BE
VALIDATING WELL. BUT WITH THE RADAR FILLING IN A BIT ACROSS
CENTRAL WYOMING EARLY THIS MORNING THERE IS STILL SOME HOPE FOR A
SNOWFLAKE OR TWO BETWEEN RIVERTON AND CASPER BEFORE ALL IS SAID
AND DONE. BUT GIVEN THE SPEED OF CLEARING ACROSS NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL WYOMING...THE CHANCE FOR ANY IMPACTFUL PRECIPITATION TO
OCCUR WHILE IT IS COLD ENOUGH TO SNOW IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS
LOOKS TO BE VERY LIMITED.

ONCE THIS SYSTEM DOES CLEAR OUT...THE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE THROUGH
THE DAY AS ANOTHER SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. CROSS
BARRIER FLOW IN THE ABSAROKAS LOOKS TO BE JUST ENOUGH TO CAUSE SOME
BREAKING MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTION ALONG THE LEE SLOPES OF THE ABSAROKAS
TONIGHT...ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE CODY FOOTHILLS AS THEY
SHOULD SEE SEVERAL HOURS WORTH OF 40 MPH SUSTAINED WINDS WITH
GUSTS OVER 60 MPH...ESPECIALLY WEST OF CODY AND AROUND CLARK.
THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME SIGNIFICANT WIND GUSTS IN THE
ABSAROKAS...WIND RIVERS AND THE UPPER WIND RIVER BASIN INCLUDING
DUBOIS...WITH FREQUENT GUSTS OVER 45 MPH EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AND
INTO SATURDAY MORNING IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS...FREQUENT GUSTS
OVER 60 MPH EXPECTED IN THE MOUNTAINS. ELSEWHERE...WIND GUSTS OVER
35 MPH WILL BE COMMON.

ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW IS EXPECTED IN THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS BEGINNING
AROUND SUNSET THIS EVENING...POSSIBLE OFF AND ON THROUGH SATURDAY.
THIS SYSTEM WILL BE QUITE A BIT WARMER SO EXPECT SNOW LEVELS TO RISE
ABOVE 8000FT FOR MUCH OF THE EVENT WITH ANOTHER COUPLE OF INCHES
EXPECTED WITH THIS NEXT WAVE WITH STRONG WESTERLY WINDS AT THIS
ELEVATION.

ANOTHER WINDY DAY IN STORE FOR HALLOWEEN...BUT A BIT WARMER AS
DOWNSLOPE WARMING ON SATURDAY SHOULD BUMP HIGH TEMPERATURES BACK
TOWARD 60 DEGREES EAST OF THE DIVIDE WITH MORE SNOW EXPECTED FOR THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF YELLOWSTONE AND THE TETONS. WHILE IT WILL BE
BREEZY TO WINDY JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE...IT LOOKS LIKE THE STRONG
WIND IN THE CODY FOOTHILLS WILL RETREAT FURTHER ALOFT WITH THE
CROSS BARRIER FLOW A BIT TOO STRONG FOR A BREAKING MOUNTAIN WAVE
BUT AN ELEVATED MOUNTAIN WAVE IS PROBABLE...A CONCERN FOR AVIATION
AND ANYONE WHO PLANS ON VENTURING INTO THE ABSAROKAS SATURDAY
NIGHT. HOWEVER...IT DOES LOOK LIKE A BIT MORE WIND WILL MAKE IT
OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS AND INTO THE UPPER WIND RIVER BASIN WITH
STRONG WIND POSSIBLE AROUND DUBOIS SATURDAY...WILL CONTINUE TO
EVALUATE THE SITUATION FOR HIGH WIND WATCH POTENTIAL.

SWIFT WESTERLY FLOW PERSISTS THROUGH SUNDAY WITH RAIN AND SNOW
CONTINUING TO STREAM INTO THE NORTHWEST...AND GUSTY WIND WITH MILD
TEMPERATURES ELSEWHERE. THERE ARE SOME HINTS OF A LEADING SHORTWAVE
BREAKING AWAY FROM AN AMPLIFYING TROUGH ACROSS THE PACNW...AND
ZIPPING ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER STATES LATE IN THE PERIOD...WHICH
COULD ALLOW THE MOISTURE STREAM TO SHIFT A BIT FURTHER SOUTH WITH
SOME RAIN POSSIBLY STREAMING INTO THE I80 CORRIDOR...INTRODUCED SOME
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TO COVER THIS POSSIBILITY.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

SYNOPSIS...A SLOW-MOVING STORM SYSTEM ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN AND
ROCKIES WILL SPREAD PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY
WITH SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL POSSIBLE IN THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS AND
PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST WYOMING.  A CANADIAN COLD FRONT WILL CHANGE
RAIN TO SNOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL BASINS TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY...BUT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE MAINLY LIGHT.   A DRIER
AND COOL AIRMASS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE NORTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
WITH SOME LINGERING RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTH.

DISCUSSION...MEDIUM-RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW GOOD OVERALL
AGREEMENT ON SHARP LONGWAVE TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE WESTERN GREAT
BASIN MONDAY AND TUESDAY...AND THEN PROGRESSING SLOWLY EASTWARD AND
FILLING...AND BECOMING INCREASINGLY SPLIT/FRAGMENTED WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY. MODELS ARE PLACING A SHARPER TROUGH A BIT FURTHER
WEST TODAY...KEEPING MOST OF CENTRAL WYOMING A MILDER SW FLOW
THROUGH TUESDAY. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF EJECT A STRONG SHORTWAVE NORTH
ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY...AND THEN BRING COLDER CANADIAN AIR SOUTH
INTO CENTRAL WYOMING BEHIND THE SYSTEM TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY. THIS SCENARIO WOULD LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF SNOWFALL
ACROSS CENTRAL AREAS AS COLDER AIR WILL MOVE IN AFTER THE BECOMES
INCREASINGLY SPLIT OR FRAGMENTED.

HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD NE ALONG BAROCLINIC REGION IN SW
DIFLUENT FLOW ACROSS SW INTO CENTRAL WYOMING MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH
BURSTS OF HEAVIER SNOWFALL POSSIBLE ACROSS THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS AND
SW AS SHORTWAVE EJECTS NORTH ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY. THIS
SHORTWAVE PASSAGE WILL SPLIT THE AREAS OF MORE ORGANIZED
PRECIPITATION NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY. THE
REMAINING PORTION OF UPPER LOW IS THEN EXPECTED TO SLOWLY DRIFT
EAST ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY
WITH THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION EXPECTED TO STAY MOSTLY SOUTH
ACROSS COLORADO. THE UPPER LOW WILL THEN KICK OUT INTO THE CENTRAL
HIGH PLAINS ON FRIDAY WITH BUILDING HEIGHTS AND DRIER AIR PUSHING
IN FROM THE NW.

.AVIATION.../18Z ISSUANCE/

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

EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY. TONIGHT...A RELATIVELY
STRONG FLOW ALOFT AND A MOUNTAIN WAVE WILL RESULT IN A DECENT AMOUNT
OF MOUNTAIN TURBULENCE AND SOME LLWS ON THE LEE SIDE OF MOUNTAIN
RANGES. PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER FOR THE LATEST
TURBULENCE FORECAST.

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

MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH AROUND 22Z TODAY. AFTER
THAT...A MOIST NORTHWEST FLOW IS EXPECTED TO BRING DETERIORATING
CONDITIONS TO THE FAR WESTERN AND NORTHWESTERN MOUNTAINS BETWEEN 21Z
AND 03Z. THE KJAC TERMINAL WILL BE IMPACTED THE MOST FROM THIS
SYSTEM WITH MVFR CEILINGS PROBABLY DEVELOPING DURING THE EVENING
WITH OFF AND ON LIGHT RAIN/SPRINKLES. OTHERWISE...THE REST OF THE
TERMINALS WILL NOT SEE MUCH OF THE IMPACT FROM THIS SYSTEM. THIS
SYSTEM TONIGHT WILL ALSO CAUSE SOME DECENT MOUNTAIN TURBULENCE.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER FOR THE LATEST ICING AND
TURBULENCE FORECAST.

.FIRE WEATHER...

...HIGH WIND WATCH FOR ZONE 276 THIS EVENING THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING...

WESTERLY FLOW WILL KEEP OFF AND ON RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS IN THE
NORTHWEST FOR MUCH OF THE WEEKEND WHILE IT WILL BE WARMER AND
DRIER ELSEWHERE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

IT WILL BE WINDY THROUGH THE WEEKEND ACROSS THE STATE WITH FREQUENT
35MPH PLUS WIND GUSTS ACROSS THE AREA WITH SOME GUSTS OVER 60MPH
EXPECTED ALONG THE ABSAROKAS AND WIND RIVERS...MAKING IT INTO THE
LEE SLOPES OF THESE RANGES...ESPECIALLY IN THE WESTERN CODY
FOOTHILLS TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING...MOVING FURTHER SOUTH FOR
SATURDAY NIGHT WITH SOME STRONG WIND GUSTS POSSIBLE NEAR DUBOIS.
LUCKILY...RELATIVE HUMIDITY IS EXPECTED TO BOTTOM OUT AROUND 25 TO
30 PERCENT TODAY AND SATURDAY.

THERE IS STILL POTENTIAL FOR A WIDESPREAD SEASON ENDING SNOW
EVENT NEXT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
