Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 12:01 PM MDT, 1 hour 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Riverton WY 1201 PM MDT Mon Jul 1 2019 .SHORT TERM...Today and tonight Clearing skies are quickly spreading eastward this morning. Low clouds have also developed over portions of Natrona County. Fog will become a possibility in this and other areas where precipitation fell Sunday. The unseasonably high dewpoints will also aid in this formation. Otherwise, skies will become clear across the area late this morning. This will allow for isolated to scattered showers to develop over the northwestern mountains, spreading eastward across mainly northern portions through the afternoon. An isolated embedded thunderstorm will be possible during this time. These showers will end by sunset this evening. Winds will also be light across much of the area today, with gusty winds up to 25 mph occurring in the higher elevations of the western mountains. .LONG TERM...Tuesday through Sunday Several shortwaves embedded within the near-zonal flow this week will bring continued chances of showers and thunderstorms during the afternoons. The best coverage still looks to be northern Wyoming and over higher elevations, with southern Wyoming staying mostly dry through the period. This will not help mitigate fire concerns across southern Wyoming, as elevated fire conditions could return across those areas by midweek as RHs drop back into the teens. Afternoon temperatures will remain warm throughout the week. By Friday models suggest that the low sitting to our northwest will finally lift across Montana. Gusty winds are likely towards the end of the week as the pressure gradient tightens in response to the lifting low. By the weekend temperatures should warm slightly as stronger ridging sets in. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) Issued at 1154 AM MDT Mon Jul 1 2019 Afternoon thunderstorms are beginning to fire on the higher elevations of the Absarokas and the Wyoming range. Expect these storms to moves east during the afternoon, and will likely approach most airports east of the divide. Some storms may produce variably gusty winds through the afternoon. Storms will decrease after sunset, with mostly clear skies and lighter winds overnight. && .FIRE WEATHER... Isolated to scattered showers will develop over the western mountains this afternoon, spreading eastward across the northern zones. Isolated thunderstorms will also be possible. This activity will end before sunset this evening. Otherwise, winds will be light with gusts up to 25 mph occurring in the higher elevations of the western zones. && .RIW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM...LaVoie LONG TERM...Myers AVIATION...Straub FIRE WEATHER...LaVoie
