Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Riverton WY
155 PM MDT Sun Jun 11 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 155 PM MDT Sun Jun 11 2017

A large unseasonably strong low pressure trough over the pacific
northwest will slowly approach the area with increasing showers
across the western and northern mountains with embedded isolated
thunderstorms possible in the afternoon and evening hours.  Snow
levels will lower to 8500 feet tonight, and 7500 feet on Monday
night. As colder air moves in stronger winds will move in as well.
A high wind watch has been issued for Sweetwater, fremont and
Natrona counties from noon Monday through 9 pm mdt Monday evening.
Mountain winds of 30 to 40 mph can be expected increasing to 40
to 45 mph by Monday afternoon with 35 to 45 mph winds across
Sweetwater, Fremont and Natrona counties. Snow accumulations above
8800 feet of 10 to 15 inches can be expected in the Tetons and
Gros Ventre mountains with 5 to 10 inches in the northern and
central mountains by late Tuesday. Wednesday will see drying
with some warming and brisk northwest winds.

.LONG TERM...(wednesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 155 PM MDT Sun Jun 11 2017

The effects of the exiting low pressure center will continue to
diminish Wednesday night as the low pressure center moves
northeast across Saskatchewan with continued diminishing winds
and making way for summer to begin several days before the summer
solstice. Northwest winds will continue to diminish and back to a
more westerly direction. Only lingering isold t storms are
expected in the north and east zones Wednesday evening. For
Thursday, a flat ridge of high pressure will be building in from
the west with the jet shifting to the north and a 1019mb sfc high
building into the region. For Friday through Sunday, the Canadian
model wants to move the ridge east all the way to the Midwest with
the GFS and the Euro keeping the flat ridge axis to our west.
With the long wave ridge currently just off the Pacific Coast,
will side with the latter two models. This soln would suggest weak
ripples in the flow closer to the jet to the north skirting our
northern tier zones where we will indicate just isold late day
convective activity in those areas Friday through sunday of next
week. Temperatures will continue to recover with highs in the 70s
at the lower elevations east of the divide and 60s west Thursday
warming to the 80s and 70s Friday through Sunday respectively.

With the added moisture we receive early in the week and warming
temps to follow, another increase in snow melt from the snow that
is left will likely take place, but not nearly as dramatic as
what has taken place these past few days. Some main stem rivers
will be high but not at record levels.
