What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this blizzard warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Riverton, WY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this blizzard warning went out at Feb 22, 12:09 PM MST, 2 hours 40 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 22, 12:09 PM MST, 2 hours 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Riverton WY 1209 PM MST Wed Feb 22 2017 .SHORT TERM...Today through Friday night Light snow showers continue northeastward from southern Lincoln to southern Natrona County. The cold front has exited the forecast area and will become the focal point for the weather through the rest of the period. The models have quickly come into agreement over the last 24 hrs, developing a sfc low along the boundary and becoming a mature low Wednesday night into Thursday. This system quickly exits eastward during the day Thursday, with the main trough axis remaining over the Northern Rockies. The PFJ remains over the area today and tonight, as the trough begins to dig over the Great Basin. This will shunt the jet southward over the Central Rockies between 12z and 18z Thursday. There will also be a large area of Q-vector divergence across southern Wyoming between 00z and 12z Thursday, along with an east-west elongated area of 700mb convergence and 300mb divergence across southern and central Wyoming. Confidence is now high for moderate to heavy snow to quickly fall Thursday morning across portions of Natrona, southeastern Fremont and eastern Sweetwater counties. Gusty north to northeasterly winds will be a concern as well, as a fairly tight pressure gradient could form along the deformation band. Expect this winds to impact Johnson county southward into Natrona, eastern Fremont and eastern Sweetwater counties. After 18z Thursday, these elements shift eastward. Light snow will continue through the rest of the day Thursday through the overnight hours and subside Friday morning, as the upper level low exits over the High Plains. Weak mid level circulations and channel vorticity will be the main causes for the lingering snow. Shortwave ridging slowly begins to build over the region Friday night. An area for concern tonight into Thursday morning will be southwest portions, where a second sfc low could develop and bring areas of enhanced snowfall. Light to moderate snow will also fall across areas west of the Divide through the period, with advisory amounts possible in the lower elevations. .LONG TERM...Saturday through Wednesday The weekend looks to be fairly quiet as some weak energy shifts east/southeast across the area. The best chance of light snow will be across the far west/northwest will little or no chances over the east and southern areas of the forecast area. Below average temperatures are expected with temps 10 to as possibly 20 degrees below normal. Global models then show an upper low/trough in the eastern Pacific pushing into the West Coast Sunday night while phasing with some northern stream energy. This trough is then expected to push across the Intermountain West and the Rockies Monday and Tuesday. Although models are in decent agreement, there remains differences on track of the main energy of the trough. Having said that, widespread snowfall looks likely to break out across the west Sunday night and continue Monday into Monday night. 700mb temps, and thickness values suggest the precipitation over the west, even in the valleys, should be all snow. East of the Divide looks to be mainly dry Sunday night and Monday with wind picking up in the wind corridor and possibly in the foothills on the lee side of mountain ranges. Some precipitation is expected to spill east of the Divide Monday night and Tuesday as a cold front and trough axis shifts across the region. However confidence on timing/location is on the low side, thus will keep PoPs on the slight side for areas east of the Divide. In wake of this trough, models are generally showing a strong northwest flow Tuesday night and Wednesday with at least some chances of snowfall across the northwestern mountains. && .AVIATION.../18Z ISSUANCE/ WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS ROUTES Snow and IFR conds will develop across the I80 corridor and KRKS as a major snowstorm takes shape later tonight through at least Thursday night or Friday morning. Otherwise, isolated to scattered snow showers in the western mountains through the period. EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL ROUTES VFR conditions will prevail through 02Z at the terminal sites. MVFR conditions will develop in Northern WY after 00Z as ceilings lower and scattered light snow occurs. In central WY, snow will develop around 06Z Thursday with MVFR/IFR conditions occurring. A major snowstorm will impact most of the area later tonight through Friday morning with snow, strong wind and generally IFR conds. && .FIRE WEATHER... A significant winter storm will bring areas of moderate to heavy snow to much of the area east of the Divide later tonight and continue into the day Friday. Gusty northerly winds will occur with this snow Thursday. Light to moderate snow will also occur west of the Divide, ending from south to north Friday evening. && .RIW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
