Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
1000 PM MST Tue Feb 12 2019
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 335 PM MST Tue Feb 12 2019
Deep upper trough was located over the Midwest, with a modest upper
ridge over the Intermountain West. Vigorous eastern Pacific upper
jet was advecting moisture as far east as the Rockies. Leading edge
of colder airmass extended from south- central NE through northeast
WY and southwest MT. Temperatures ranged from the mid 20s to low 40s.
Prevailing winds were westerly 15 to 30 MPH, with gusts to 45 MPH
along the I-80 and I-25 wind corridors.
Primary forecast concerns will focus on significant high wind episode
late tonight through late Thursday night for most of our WY CWA, and
heavy snow/blowing snow for the Snowy/Sierra Madres Wednesday night
through Friday.
After a lull in the high winds this morning, west to southwest winds
will strengthen late tonight and early Wednesday morning along the
Laramie Range. GFS/NAM 700mb winds increase from 50-55 kt 09Z to 75-
85 kt 18Z Wednesday. The CAG-BRX and CAG-CPR 850/700mb gradients
show a corresponding rise to 75-95 mtrs after 18Z Wednesday. The CAG-
BRX 850mb gradient peaks at 104 mtrs at 03Z Thursday. A broad area
of deep layer subsidence develops later Wednesday morning and
persists through 09Z Thursday. Given the magnitude and extent of the
high winds, High Wind Warnings were issued for a large portion of
the WY CWA from midnight tonight through 6 AM Thursday. Sustained
west to southwest winds 35 to 50 MPH with gusts to 70 MPH. Gusts as
high as 80 MPH possible for the wind prone areas including Vedauwoo,
Buford and Bordeaux, as well as the North Laramie Range. Winds and
low/mid level gradients relax Thursday, but it will be breezy to
windy through the day.
The next surge of colder air dives south into the eastern WY and
western NE plains Thursday morning. Snow will be light with the
passage of the front, with more persistent and potentially heavy
snow taking shape over the higher terrain west of the Laramie
Range. Increasing westerly/upslope flow favors the Sierra Madre
Range with 12 to 18 inches, with upwards of 10 inches over the
Snowy Range through Friday. The snow will come in two waves, the
first Wednesday night and Thursday morning, and the second Thursday
night and Friday morning. Strong and gusty winds may produce
widespread blowing snow and low visibility. After coordinating
with WFO GJT and BOU, issued a Winter Storm Watch from 6 PM
Wednesday through 6 PM Friday.
Mildest temperatures will occur Wednesday with 40s and 50s east of
the Laramie Range. The southward extent of the colder air may make
it to a Douglas-Alliance line Thursday, then retreat to the east
into western NE Friday.
.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 335 PM MST Tue Feb 12 2019
Latest medium range model/ensemble trends maintain an active,
progressive long wave pattern. Next in a series of upper level
troughs will track east through the CWA Saturday, followed by a
surge of colder Canadian air. There will be chances for light snow
with blustery NW winds producing patchy blowing snow into
Saturday night. Highs in the 20s and low 30s Saturday will drop
into the teens and low 20s Sunday. Light snow will develop over
the southeast WY mountains and nearly high plains Sunday. Cold
temperatures with chances for light snow are forecast Monday,
followed by drier and slightly milder temperatures Tuesday.

Issued at 238 PM MST Tue Feb 12 2019
Potent upper level trough and approaching arctic cold front will

MPH along the Laramie Range, with gusts of 55 to 65 MPH elsewhere.
Afternoon humidities will fall between 15 and 20 percent along
