.SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday night)
Issued at 348 AM MST Tue Nov 19 2019

Brace yourselves, winter is on the way. Today will see the final
day of warm temperatures, as the midlevel ridge gradually shifts
to the east of the state. H7 temps of +2 to +5C will translate to
highs in the mid 50s to the lower 60s. One exception will bee the
Yellowstone region, as the leading edge of colder air moves into
the NW corner of the state. H7 temps fall to -2C later this
afternoon, which will keep temperatures in the mid 30s through the
day. This area will also see a chance for a mix of rain and snow
late this afternoon into tonight.

Then the front starts to move in from the north. Initial passage
will arrive around midnight for the northern counties, between 4
and 6am for the central counties, and should be passing the
southern border by 8am. At the same time, the mid and upper flow
will be buckling considerably as the large-scale trough dives
along the west coast. This will turn winds from the south aloft,
drawing in ample upsloping of moisture over the advancing front.
During the late morning and early afternoon, temperatures aloft
will be falling quickly, with initial H7 temps falling to -6 to
-8C. This profile means all precip will start as snow and continue
 through the rest of the day. Peak snow production will occur
 during the afternoon and early evening along a line from the
 Lander Foothills east across Jeffrey City to Casper Mountain.
 This will be accompanied by gusty north winds, so travel will be
 hazardous for most of the state Wednesday. Main issue is the
 upper level support may move off earlier than forecast, which
 would fluctuate the heaviest band north or south, and would
 decrease overall amounts. With current forecast and trends, will
 be hoisting Winter Storm Watches and Advisories this morning.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Monday)
Issued at 348 AM MST Tue Nov 19 2019

Conditions will begin to improve Thursday from north to south as the
bulk of the system moves off to the southeast and ridging builds in
from the northwest. Any lingering precipitation should end by late
Thursday afternoon. With a fresh snowpack, Friday morning lows will
be cold with the basins likely in the single digits. Temperatures
will attempt to recover as warmer Pacific air wraps around an
upper high across the northwest, but lower elevations with fresh
snow may struggle to warm up through the weekend. The next system
will reach the state on Sunday night from the northwest. In spite
of the lack of finer details, this does look like another
widespread snow producer to begin next week.
