Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 1:55 PM MDT, 12 hours 11 minutes before
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. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 155 PM MDT Sun Jun 11 2017 WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS ROUTES A warm front is expected continue to push northward across southwest Wyoming during the remainder of this afternoon with winds switching from southeast to a breezy to windy southerly wind by late afternoon. The exception to this could be across Jackson Hole where winds could remain mainly northerly. Isolated to scattered convection is expected to move into the area from Idaho along and north of a 20N EMM to 40SE PNA this afternoon, and last well into the night. VFR conditions are expected except for brief MVFR/IFR conditions in convection. Also, some LLWS could develop tonight as southerly flow intensifies. After 18z Monday, precipitation is expected to become more widespread along with areas of MVFR and LCL IFr along with mtn obscn. The snow level will lower to 7000 feet by 00z Tuesday in far Western Wyoming including KJAC. However, Sweetwater County including KRKS will remain dry and windy with south winds shifting to westerly at 20 to 30 knots Monday. EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL ROUTES A cold front is expected to remain along the Divide most of the rest of the day with a northerly to easterly surface flow. Isolated to scattered convection are expected to redevelop late in the afternoon/early evening. This convection is expected to lift northward, but continue well into the night. VFR conditions are expected except brief MVFR/IFR conditions in any convection. Southerly LLWS could also develop especially at terminals in the foothills. After 18z monday, a stronger round of convection is expected to develop with severe thunderstorms possible over Johnson County including KBYG, and Northeast Natrona County. Expect isold MVFR/IFR conditions with these storms. && .FIRE WEATHER... 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.
