Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
1025 PM MDT Fri Nov 2 2018
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 220 PM MDT Fri Nov 2 2018
So far winds have remained a little below high wind levels for the
most with a few sites attaining them. Models still show some
increase in the winds late this afternoon mainly around the south
Laramie range so will keep current wind hilites in place for now.
Otherwise the next shortwave is expected to cross the area
overnight and should bring some rain and snow showers to much of
the area but any accumulating snows are expected to stay over the
higher mtns. A cold front will also pass across tonight resulting
in cooler and blustery conditions saturday, particularly over the
plains. Some mtn snow showers will also continue over the mtns
saturday aided by orographics. A short break in conditions
Saturday night as a minor upper ridge passes across.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 220 PM MDT Fri Nov 2 2018
Next shortwave approaches the CWA Sunday and passes by Sunday night.
Focus with this one will be on snowfall over the higher mtns as
better moisture will accompany this system. Snow will increase
during the day and looks to become heavy at times Sunday afternoon
and night. Over a foot of snow possible over the Snowy and Sierra
Madres before it tapers off on Monday. Snow over the north Laramie
Range looks less as the wind direction not favorable so have opted
to drop the Winter Storm Watch there. Rest of the week will remain
pretty cool with another minor shortwave bringing some widely
scattered snow showers later Tuesday into Weds.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 1025 PM MDT Fri Nov 2 2018
Strong and gusty westerly winds will continue across southeast WY
tonight as a cold front moves through the area. Scattered -SHSN/SHRA
will occur along and behind the front, ending from west to east
between 10Z and 14Z. CIGS/VIS will remain VFR, except for MVFR or lower
restrictions over the mountains. Northwesterly winds will strengthen
behind the front Saturday morning across the high plains with gusts of
35 to 45 kt.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 220 PM MDT Fri Nov 2 2018
No concerns expected into early next week with cool temperatures
and some rain and snow mitigating conditions. There will still be
some periods of gusty winds through Monday but min RHs will stay
well above critical levels.
