Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
1021 AM MST Tue Dec 7 2021

.UPDATE...
Issued at 913 AM MST Tue Dec 7 2021

Forecast confidence has increased this morning with regard to the
upcoming high wind event set to start tonight and last through
Thursday morning. High Wind Watches have been upgraded to High
Wind Warnings for the southern Laramie Range and foothills. The
High Wind Warning for the northern Snowy Range foothills remains
in effect.

UPDATE Issued at 648 AM MST Tue Dec 7 2021

Winds have finally calmed down this morning below high wind
criteria for the South Laramie Range and near Arlington/Elk
Mountain. Still cannot fully rule out a brief gust to 58 MPH this
morning, but winds should remain 40 to 50 MPH for the most part.
However, this lull will be short-lived as another High Wind
Warning goes into effect for the North Snowy Range Foothills (WYZ
110) midday today and will continue through Wednesday evening. In-
house guidance continues to show high confidence in high wind
potential, especially during the day Wednesday as CAG-CPR height
gradients increase to around 70m. Additionally, High Wind Watches
were issued for the South Laramie Range and Foothills along with
the Bordeaux area starting later tonight and early Wednesday
morning. Strong subsidence over the Laramie Range along with
strong flow aloft, especially late Wednesday afternoon, will lead
to the potential for gusts greater than 60 MPH for wind-prone
areas.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Wednesday)
Issued at 303 AM MST Tue Dec 7 2021

High Wind Warnings remain in effect across portions of the
Laramie Range and adjacent foothills (WYZ 116-118) and the North
Snowy Range Foothills (WYZ 110) this morning through 5 AM MST.
While not all sites across these zones have been showing strong
winds, gusts still remain 50-55 MPH for a few locations. Winds
have calmed down for Bordeaux and East Platte Co overnight with
the last observation exceeding high wind criteria coming before
midnight. Latest surface analysis shows the lee side low has
shifted to the south into CO decreasing pressure gradients along
the Laramie Range while also turning Bordeaux northerly.
Therefore, decided to cancel the northern portions (WYZ 106-107)
of the High Wind Warning early this morning.

Current Winter Weather Advisories for the Snowy and Sierra Madre
Ranges look good to run through early this morning. Latest SNOTELs
reports have shown up to 0.2" SWE accumulation in the Sierra Madres
and 0.4-0.6" SWE accumulation in the Snowys. While the heaviest
snowfall should be over, could still see additional snow
accumulations up to 2 inches in the higher terrain early this
morning.

High winds will continue to be an issue today near Arlington and Elk
Mountain as 700mb flow barely and briefly drops below 45kts with
850/700mb CAG-CPR height gradients remaining above 50m. CAG-CPR
height gradients actually remain above 50m through early Thursday
morning and increase to around 70m Wednesday. Local guidance
suggests there might be a brief lull in winds this morning for
Arlington that could provide an opportunity to expire the warning,
but will most likely need to reissue for later today. Will decide
on this later this morning along with potential issuances of High
Wind Watches for Wednesday, especially near Bordeaux. Pressure
gradients along the Laramie Range grow to at least 4 mb late
Wednesday morning with strong subsidence over the Laramie Range
late in the afternoon. Overall, most sites across southeast
Wyoming should be breezy Wednesday which will help keep
temperatures above average east of the Laramie Range into the
Nebraska Panhandle with downsloping winds and 700mb temps above
0C.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 303 AM MST Tue Dec 7 2021

Wednesday night/Thursday...Cooler as the flow aloft becomes west
southwest in advance of the approaching shortwave trough aloft. As
moisture increases, orographic snow chances will increase across
and near our Snowy and Sierra Madre Ranges in the morning, then
spreading across the rest of southeast Wyoming in the afternoon.

Friday...A progressive shortwave trough aloft is projected to move
overhead, spreading decent chances for accumulating snowfall across
our counties, along with colder temperatures.

Saturday...Blustery and windy in the wake of the passing shortwave
trough aloft and with strong northwest flow aloft. Drying trend
behind the shortwave trough aloft.

Sunday/Monday...Another warming trend begins as the flow aloft turns
west southwest with surface lee troughing developing and 700 mb
temperatures rising to near 3 Celsius.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1006 AM MST Tue Dec 7 2021

VFR conditions likely through the forecast period for all
terminals. Increased pressure gradients have kept winds elevated
across the domain, with stronger winds expected along and near
the mountain ranges and higher terrains. At this time, MVFR
conditions cannot fully be ruled out with lower ceilings, but kept
them in the VFR range with higher confidence in downsloping winds
across southeastern Wyoming. Into tomorrow, shortwave disturbances
within the flow are expected to nudge up the wind speeds once
again and extending eastward into the Nebraska Panhandle.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 303 AM MST Tue Dec 7 2021

Minimal fire weather concerns for the rest of the week with
cooler weather sticking around today and returning later this
week. Breezy winds expected today with stronger winds again on
Wednesday. Widespread chance for precipitation Thursday and Friday
across southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle could help
break up this early winter dry spell.

&&

.CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
