What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill advisory 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 advisory went out at Feb 11, 2:06 AM MST, 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 11, 2:06 AM MST, 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Riverton WY 206 AM MST Thu Feb 11 2021 .SHORT TERM...Today through Saturday night With the contrast in weather, we will split the discussion into West and East of the Divide this morning. West of the Divide...Things are fairly quiet across the area this morning other than a couple of flurries and the continuing gusty wind. This will not last long though. A plume of Pacific moisture will begin approaching the area this afternoon and set up a fairly long lived snow event. Snow will break out this afternoon. However, the heaviest snow will likely hold off until after dark and occur later tonight. This is courtesy of the right rear quadrant of an 150 knot jet moving away from the area. Through the event, this is when we expect the heaviest snow to fall, when snowfall rates over an inch are possible. Periods of snow will continue into Friday and Friday night, but with less upper level forcing, it will liking be more of the light to moderate variety. We still expect warning level amounts in the warned area, but we did back accumulations off just a little bit. Meanwhile, across Sweetwater County, the models are showing some moisture moving in and starting to overrun some of the arctic air that will begin trickling over the Divide Thursday night. As a result we did bump up POPs and QPF somewhat. The models are still disagreeing on snow amounts right now so confidence is not high. If trends continue though, the day shift may want to consider one. There is still time, as this snow would likely hold off until around midnight and continue into Friday. Snow should taper off Friday night. However, another system will be approaching from the west with another chance of snow on Saturday. However, there is still a fair amount of uncertainty with this one. The GFS, which has been the driest model, keeps the heaviest snow across Utah and Colorado and only gives southern Wyoming a glancing blow. The NAM and European are a bit further north though and give another accumulating snow. For now, we split the middle with best chance of snow across southern Wyoming. However, uncertainty remains high with this system...stay tuned. And finally, the Arctic air will cross the divide through Saturday. The coldest air will likely miss the area to the north and east though. So although it will be cold, temperatures will likely not be anything close to those East of the Divide. East of the Divide...The secondary Arctic front is now sagging southward through northern Wyoming. This, combined with some left front quadrant jet energy, is bringing some light snow to northern Wyoming. Since the air is moisture starved, as Arctic air tends to be, amounts should remain on the light side. The steadiest snow should end this morning as the jet moves away to the east, although some snow showers will likely continue through the day. The boundary will settle near the Continental Divide by tonight. That means that areas that did not see the bitter cold, like Riverton, will see much colder temperatures today. And tonight looks to be the coldest night so far, with lows falling into the minus 20 range in the cold spots and most areas seeing lows at least in the teens below zero. As for precipitation, there will likely be areas of light snow, especially tonight. The core of the Pacific moisture will likely start to the west though, so large accumulations are not expected. This will be the high ratio fluffy snow though, so it could appear to be more than it actually is. Friday at this point looks to be the same with bitterly cold temperatures, remaining below or struggling to get above zero in many locations. Areas of light snow will continue as well. We do have a concern for Friday afternoon into Friday night though. There will be some jet energy moving toward northern Wyoming with the cold dome in place. This could be a similar setup to last Saturday night with some locally moderate to heavy snowbands. There is less moisture to work with. Not all the models show this though so we only bumped up POPs somewhat. For Saturday, we have the same concerns as West of the Divide. It is regarding the next wave moving in from the west. And the situation is the same. The European and NAM models both show some snow moving into the area, especially in southern locations. The GFS is largely dry though. For now, we went with slight to chance POPs but kept snowfall light. And this leads to this, how cold can it get. It will still be rather cold. However, if the Saturday system does get shoved to the south, there could be some clearing Friday or Saturday night. If it does, places that have snow cover could get VERY cold. The GFS MOS number for Worland on Friday night is 30 below zero. Otherwise, expect another bitterly cold day on Saturday, although there could be some slight moderation of temperatures as the core of the Arctic air moves into the northern Plains. .LONG TERM... A longwave trough will remain across the central U.S. through the long term with shortwave troughs pulling southeast across the area at times through Thursday. The extremely bitter cold temperatures across the entire area Sunday look to improve rapidly for areas west of the Divide as a shortwave trough pulls across the area bringing some milder temperatures and chances of snow Monday into Tuesday. These system could result in enough snow for some winter highlights. Areas east of the Divide, look to be mainly dry both days with the warming trend much slower especially in trapped basins with snow cover. Although not currently in the forecast, the warm air advection over the Arctic air mass Sunday thru Tuesday could result in very fluffy light snow mainly over the north which is in addition to the possibly more significant snow over the west. Wednesday and/or Thursday could see additional disturbances, with possibility of snow mainly over the west, but confidence on timing this far out is low. Temperatures will remain below average especially east of the Divide, but not nearly as cold as what occurs earlier in the forecast. && .AVIATION...12Z Issuance West of the Divide: VFR conditions will continue for these sites through the 18Z, with only mid to high level clouds. KJAC will see a gradual lowering of cigs, with widespread snow developing late in the afternoon and continuing through the night. Some light snow may reach KBPI and KPNA after 00Z Friday, but most snow doesn't arrive until after 06Z Friday. KRKS remains out of the precip, with gusty winds continuing today and increasing to near 40kts this afternoon. East of the Divide: MVFR ceilings look to remain in place at KCPR and KCOD for much of the period. Light snow with IFR visibilities at times are expected to continue at KCOD today. KWRL look to have varying ceilings between 2 and 4 kft agl today. Farther south, KRIW and KLND could see some MVFR ceilings at times, but widespread MVFR ceilings today across the Wind River Basin is not expected at this time. && .FIRE WEATHER... An arctic cold front will move south toward the Continental Divide today and bring very cold temperatures to the northern and eastern half of the area. Breezy to windy and milder weather will continue in western and southern locations. Light snow will spread southward through the day. Heavier snow is possible in western Wyoming late today but the heaviest will likely hold off until Thursday night. Relative humidity will remain above critical levels.
