What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm 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 winter storm warning went out at Nov 19, 11:18 AM MST, 59 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 19, 11:18 AM MST, 59 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Riverton WY 1118 AM MST Tue Nov 19 2019 .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. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1055 AM MST Tue Nov 19 2019 JAC/PNA/BPI...Western state locations will se an increase in cloud cover this afternoon as the next push of cold air arrives. Expect westerly winds to continue today, with rain showers in northwest Wyoming at the lower elevations, including the vcnty of KJAC, along with snow showers in the surrounding mountains. The front will move through after midnight, bringing gusty north winds in its wake. Any wintry precipitation will likely not arrive until after 12Z Wednesday. MVFR/IFR conditions will occur in the southwest including KPNA and KBPI through Wednesday along with mainly MVFR conditions at KJAC. Expect mtn obscn Wednesday. Eastern and southern sites...VFR to start today for all sites, with generally light winds noted. Breezy southwest winds increase tonight for the usual RKS to CPR corridor, reaching 15g25kts at times. Then the front arrives. Northern sites should see north winds arrive around midnight in KCOD, 09Z in KWRL, reaching RIW/LND/CPR around 11Z, and passing RKS around 13Z. Gusty north winds of 20 to 25 kts are expected through the day Wednesday associated with the front moving north to south. Snow will develop behind the southbound moving front, across the north after midnight. Then snow will increase across central and southern WY after sunrise Wednesday. MVFR/IFR conditions and mtn obscurations expected after 12Z Wednesday for the central and southern locations. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued AT 348 AM MST Tue Nov 19 2019 Warm temperatures continue for one more day, with highs in the 50s. Corridor from Rock Springs to Casper reaches 15 to 20 mph with higher gusts during the afternoon. The cold front sweeps through overnight, with an abrupt wind shift from the north at 20 to 25 mph. The front will bring chances for snow for most of the state, with several inches possible at all elevations. && .RIW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Weather Advisory from 5 AM Wednesday to 11 AM MST Thursday for WYZ007>011-017-020-028>030.
