Area forecast discussion, Dec 17, 10:25 AM MST, 2 hours 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cheyenne WY 1025 AM MST Sat Dec 17 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 1008 AM MST Sat Dec 17 2016 CANCELLED THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY AND WARNING. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday night) Issued at 330 AM MST Sat Dec 17 2016 Predawn water vapor loop depicted a positively-tilted upper trough axis from the MT/ND border across central WY, UT and northern AZ. Most of the moisture, shortwave energy and associated lift shifted to the east and south of the CWA. The arctic front was located from southern CO across the northern TX panhandle and OK. IR imagery indicated the colder cloud tops extended from western NE into central and eastern CO, colocated with the location of the heavier snow bands. Light snow/flurries were reported over portions of the NE panhandle, and this activity will end by sunrise per the latest HRRR. The center of the arctic high was located over MT where surface temperatures ranged from -15 to -25 degrees. Tight pressure gradient between this high and the front to the south continued to generate blustery northerly winds of 20 to 35 mph, resulting in bitterly cold wind chills of -15 to -35 degrees. 00Z short range models in good agreement with the eastward progression of the upper trough today and prevailing northwest flow aloft. The arctic high to the north weakens slightly as it settles southeast across the north central Great Plains through tonight. Despite the clearing skies today, cold air advection/700mb temperatures of -20 to -25 degrees Celsius will keep a lid on high temperatures, ranging from -5 to 5 degrees. Wind chill temperatures moderate slightly after midday, ranging from -15 to -25 degrees thanks to brisk northwest winds. The axis of the coldest air slides east into the high plains tonight with lows from -10 to -25 degrees. West winds of 10 to 15 mph will lower wind chills to -25 to -40 degrees tonight. Areas west of the Laramie Range outside the higher mountains can expect wind chills of -15 to -30 degrees this evening before temperatures slowly rise later tonight. Sunday will be milder as 700mb temperatures moderate to around -15 degrees Celsius during the afternoon. Expect high temperatures in the low to mid teens west and upper teens to lower 20s east. Lows Sunday night will moderate into the single digits above zero outside the mountains as westerly winds increase. In fact, the CAG-CPR 850/700mb gradients rise above 60 meters after 06Z Sunday night. High wind probabilities rise to 78 percent at Bordeaux by 12Z Monday, and trended higher with the winds for the central Laramie Range/Southwest Platte County zone. This will be the start of a prolonged windy period for much of southeast Wyoming early next week. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Friday) Issued at 315 AM MST Sat Dec 17 2016 Milder weather will return to the CWA for Monday and Tuesday as the upper flow becomes more westerly and sunshine combines with downslope flow. Looking fairly windy in the wind prone areas Monday into Tuesday as lee troughing increases the pressure gradient. Next upper shortwave passes by Tuesday night bringing some snow showers mainly to the higher mtns as well as a push of cooler air...not of arctic origin though. Dry and cool Wednesday and Thursday with a short upper ridge moving across the region. Next shortwave arrives friday bringing another round of snow showers mainly to the higher terrain as well as cooler temperatures. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon) Issued at 1021 AM MST Sat Dec 17 2016 VFR conditions expected as high pressure and westerly winds over the area. storm system that brough the widespread snow now well southeast. Very cold temperatures will continue next 24 hours before warming. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 255 AM MST Sat Dec 17 2016 An arctic air mass has settled into the districts today and will bring the coldest temperatures this season. Gusty northwest winds will produce bitterly cold wind chills of -25 to -40 this morning and again tonight and Sunday morning. High humidities and a fresh snowpack will preclude fire weather concerns this weekend. Windy and milder weather returns early next week. && .CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WY...None.
