What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Riverton, WY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill warning went out at Oct 29, 4:16 AM MDT, 1 hour 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 29, 4:16 AM MDT, 1 hour 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Riverton WY 416 AM MDT Tue Oct 29 2019 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday) Issued at 412 AM MDT Tue Oct 29 2019 |...Accumulating snow followed by bitter cold... The arctic cold front has worked its way down to Sweetwater County. The strongest post frontal northeast winds now extend from Sweetwater County northeast to South Pass and on east to Alcova where winds are gusting from 30 to 43 mph. Along the leading edge of the cold front, the snow appears to be heaviest where 700mb temperatures are are favorable to support optimal dendritic growth. As one gets farther behind the front and deeper into the cold air where 700mb temps are likely close to or below -20C at 700mb, the snow becomes finer and drier, still effectively lowering the visibility as the snowflakes get tossed around by the wind. Will keep the advisories going as is, expiring from northwest to southeast during the day today as the trough responsible for the snow and cold front exits to the southeast. The bulk of the snow will occur west of the Divide as the associated closed low tracks from Idaho southeast to northwest Colorado. However, this happens to also be a favorable track for the Lander Foothills and the adjacent east slope of the Wind River Mountains to receive a bulls eye of snowfall relative to surrounding areas east of the Divide. We think up to a half a foot of fluff is possible in Lander once the snow ends there today. Elsewhere, mostly 2 to 4 inch snow totals are expected at the lower elevations where advisories are in effect along with advisory amounts of 5 to 10 inches in the mountains where we do have advisories. Will keep the warning going for eastern Sweetwater County to take into account the stronger winds combined with the snow there through 00Z Wednesday. After the initial snow band occurred with the cold front in the Wind River Basin, there was a temporary lull from the Owl Creek Mountain shadow effect before the snow snuck back in from the southeast. This appears to be the result of the low forming over Idaho and its associated circulation resulting in a light southeast steering flow. The HRRR depicted this well. In addition, isentropic lift appears the be a contributor to the steady light snow north of the front across the CWA. QG forcing directly associated with the upper low and trough is also aiding in lift. The upslope flow will deepen as the upper low moves to Colorado to our south which will be enhanced by the synoptic scale dynamics, as mentioned above, as it seeds the lower upslope clouds. This will be especially true true along the Lander Foothills and along the Wyoming Range in southwest Wyoming. With the cold air in place today, many areas will have high temperatures only reaching 5 to 15 degrees. Many areas today may witness the coldest high temperatures ever recorded in the month of October. Tonight, once the trough exits to the southeast, skies will clear and the bottom will fall out as far as frigid dropping temperatures go. We could very well see the coldest temperatures ever recorded in the state of Wyoming tonight and Wednesday morning for the month of October. This is an extremely cold air mass for October with 700mb temperatures as cold as -25C. By Wednesday morning, a flat positively tilted ridge moves into the area from the west, resulting in relative warm air advection from the west northwest. This is a favorable pattern for strong nocturnal basin and valley inversions as well as fog development, although we lack a large wedge of much drier air above the inversion needed to support widespread fog. In addition, the lower air mass will be fairly dry. However, we still have relatively warm rivers and lakes that have not frozen yet which can contribute to local patchy fog for later tonight and Wednesday morning. Wind chills will be as cold as 25 to 35 below in Sweetwater County tonight as it will take longer for the east northeast winds to diminish there. We will be issuing a wind chill warning valid from 00Z – 12Z Wednesday for Sweetwater County which will go into effect as soon as the winter weather advisories and warning expire. Wednesday will see bright sunshine along with a slight recovery in temperatures, but still very cold for this time of year with highs 10 to 20 in most areas along with some valley and basin inversions holding strong. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 412 AM MDT Tue Oct 29 2019 By Wednesday night, the core of the surface high will be to the south across CO. Some of the cold core will still be affecting southern WY, with areas south of the Divide again falling below zero. Temperatures east of the Divide will be relatively balmy, only falling to 5 to 10 degrees above zero. Thursday will see the effects of the next approaching clipper system. High temperatures will recover to the lower to middle 30s during the afternoon. This will depend on how much westerly wind develops ahead of the clipper and how much snow cover erodes during the afternoon. Models have been faster and a little further south, so have slightly increased the chances for light showers for the far northern areas of WY, including the Big Horn Mountains. This should pass quickly to the east by Friday morning, with highs again in the mid to upper 30s. General northwest flow aloft continues over the weekend, which will keep the coldest air away from the region and allow further improvement in WY temperatures, with highs near 40 Saturday and into the mid 40s Sunday. This still is somewhat below normal for this time of year. Another weak clipper sweeps into the northern Plains Sunday, with another brief minor chance for a shower for the Big Horn Mtns. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning) Issued at 412 AM MDT Tue Oct 29 2019 In northern WY, scattered light snow will end by 18Z. The main snow will occur along and south of a KJAC-KRIW-KCPR line through Wednesday afternoon. Snow will be decreasing after 00Z Wed in the central and south and ending around 06Z Wednesday. Expect a gusty wind in the north and central through 15Z. The strongest wind will occur in southern WY later tonight and Wednesday with a northeast wind of 25 to 35 knots through 00Z, then slowly decrease. MVFR conditions with areas of IFR will occur in the north overnight. Then after 15Z, VFR with areas of MVFR conditions will occur through 00Z Wed. MVFR conditions will be common in the central and south overnight and Wed with areas of IFR conditions. Conditions will improve in the central and south to VFR with areas of MVFR after 00Z Wed. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued AT 412 AM MDT Tue Oct 29 2019 Focus remains on the arrival of very cold air into WY with the current cold front. Winds will continue from the north today, with areas east of the Divide generally 15 to 20 mph, while south of the divide, especially eastern Sweetwater County, will see winds of 25 to 35 mph with higher gusts. The center of high pressure moves in tonight, bringing much lighter winds to the state, and allowing temps to fall well below zero. A slow moderating trend will start Thursday, with temperatures back in the 40s for the weekend. && .RIW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Storm Warning until 6 PM MDT this evening for WYZ030.
