Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
1143 PM MDT Fri Apr 15 2022
.UPDATE...
impact areas along and near the WY/CO border this evening. This
band has been undulating north and south over the past several
hours bringing some light snow with accumulation on the grassy
surfaces and turning most roadways wet. WYDOT cameras in these
areas confirm the ongoing snow and wet roadways. Decided to
increase precipitation chances this evening and expand them
further east, following I-80.
Additionally, we will be watching for the slight chance for some
patchy fog that may develop this evening. With the area
precipitation moistening up the boundary layer and with winds
holding an east to east-northwest direction, upslope low stratus
has developed and has been expanding in coverage per the night fog
satellite image over the past hour. Current the ASOS at the
Cheyenne airport is reporting a 400 foot cloud deck. We will
continue to monitor trends through the evening and may have to add
fog to forecast.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 245 PM MDT Fri Apr 15 2022
KCYS radar shows similar conditions compared to the past two days.
Scattered showers across the CWA with some brief reduced
visibilities in falling snow, primarily west of the Laramie Range
and the northern part of the CWA. Temperatures east of the Laramie
Range in extreme southeast Wyoming and the southern Nebraska
panhandle are fairly warm, so rain showers are expected. Maybe even
a rumble of thunder or two is possible as RAP surface-based CAPE
shows some isolated areas with over 1000 J/kg. Hi-Res models show
shower activity diminishing this evening.
Widespread highs in the 50s are expected Saturday as the CWA
receives some much welcome WAA from southwesterly flow aloft. Yet
another round of precipitation is expected Saturday afternoon and
night as a fast moving shortwave clips the region Saturday night.
The mountains will develop snow showers while the lower elevations
will likely see rain showers due to the warmer temperatures. Can't
rule out some rumbles of thunder with these showers as elevated CAPE
will likely exist. By early Sunday morning, conditions will start to
dry out. The Snowy and Sierra Madre Ranges will have picked up a few
inches of snow, while the lower elevations will pick up little to no
accumulation.
The main story late Saturday night into Sunday afternoon will
actually be the threat of high winds. Saturday night's shortwave
will strengthen low-level pressure gradients across the CWA. Models
show impressive mountain wave signatures with very strong
downward omegas over the Laramie Range. Midnight shift issued High
Wind Watches for the wind prone areas of the CWA (ARL, BRX, south
Laramie Range). Felt confident enough to expand these watches
into the eastern plains, including central Laramie County and east
Platte County as breaking mountain waves could easily send 60 kt
750 mb flow down to the surface. Strongest wind potential looks to
be Sunday morning, with winds gradually easing during the
afternoon.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 245 PM MDT Fri Apr 15 2022
Upper ridging for Sunday night into Monday builds back into the
area. Ridge axis passes across the CWA Monday afternoon with winds
shifting back to the west. Very warm 700mb temperatures by Tuesday
morning...climbing to +7C from -2 to -3C Monday morning.
As expected...700mb winds begin to pick up Tuesday with ridge axis
to the east. Did up winds in the wind prone areas for Tuesday as
GFS 700mb winds up near 45-50kts. Could be seeing another high
wind event for the wind prone areas Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Strong shortwave passes north of Wyoming Wednesday that could
prolong the high winds over southeast Wyoming through Wednesday.
Need to be on the lookout for the end of next week as the GFS
showing strong low pressure tracking across northern Colorado.
Would put us in a good area for heavy snow should the track pan
out.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night)
Issued at 1136 PM MDT Fri Apr 15 2022
VFR conditions currently across area terminals with the exception
being KCYS. Snow showers continue around KCYS with visibility
bouncing between 1-3 SM. Latest hi-res guidance continues to
suggest snowfall will let up over the next hour or two, however
models have not had a good handle on these showers all evening.
Latest radar trends have slid the heavier snow just north of KCYS,
but has not let up and may still slide back south. Will continue
to monitor latest trends headed into early Saturday morning and
update TAFs as needed. Elsewhere, gusty winds are expected late
Saturday morning with increasing cloud cover through the
afternoon. SE WY terminals may see scattered rain/snow showers
early in the evening that could led to temporary reductions to
visibility.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 315 AM MDT Fri Apr 15 2022
Minimal fire weather concerns today and Saturday with a chance
for rain and snow showers along with coolish temperatures. Some
isolated thunder may accompany these showers across southeast
Wyoming each afternoon. Fire weather concerns increase late this
weekend and into next week with warmer temperatures, lower
relative humidity values, and gusty winds nearly every afternoon
through Wednesday of next week.
