The active weather pattern that plagued the area is slowly coming
to a close early this morning. Very strong wind gusts were
observed yesterday...between 60-90mph, and the elevated wind
gusts continue overnight as of 10Z. The I-80 corridor between
Laramie and Rawlins still are seeing wind gusts near 40-50 mph.
Taking a look at the present radar, multiple radar echoes are
present due to the advancing cold front across the region. Light
rain and snow showers have been observed from the late evening
hours into the early morning period, with a couple areas seeing
snow squalls temporarily. The advancing cold front is in response
to a deep, occluded 984mb surface low pressure presently located
in Manitoba. GOES Water Vapor satellite imagery shows a distinct
attendant upper level wave circulating over the same area,
providing further evidence of the stacked upper level system. The
surface cold front is quickly moving across southern WY, with
cloud cover advancing along with it. Per SPC Mesoanalysis, an
impressive 160+ knot jet streak is also co-located over central WY
into the NE Panhandle early this morning.
As the day presses on, orographic enhancement on the west and
southwest facing slopes of the Snowy and Sierra Madre mountains
will slowly wind down. Light snow showers will remain present,
but will not be extending the current Winter Weather Advisory due
to low snowfall accumulations for the remainder of the day. Due to
the cold front moving through the area, we can expect lingering
cloud cover for a majority of the day as CAA becomes present.
700mb temperatures behind this cold front will cool to a range of
negative 5C to negative 11C by 21Z this afternoon. Chilly
temperatures are forecast, with daytime highs in the 30s and 40s
for the lower terrain, and sub-freezing in the mountain zones of
Carbon and Albany County. This is approximately 5-10 degrees below
normal for the first week of November, so if planning on being
outdoors for a prolonged period of time today, it may be prudent
to wear an additional layer of clothing.
Sunday night into Monday will see a transition to upper level
ridge amplification over the Intermountain West. WAA will ensue,
with south-southwesterly flow adiabatically warming the lower
levels of the atmosphere overnight. By 12Z Monday, 700mb
temperatures across the area will range from -1C to +4C. This
trend will continue as a LLJ begins to enhance across the region,
and wind speeds aloft begin to increase thanks to an approaching
upper level trough further upstream. A weak warm front will sweep
across the area Monday. The daytime high temperatures are
expected to rise into the 50s for the lower terrain, with even a
few localized areas creeping into the lower 60s potentially. The
higher terrain will remain cool, with daytime highs in the 30s.
The main reason for localized warmer temperatures will be due to a
return of elevated to strong winds. The wind direction will be
mainly from a southerly direction this time around as a surface
low pressure rapidly develops in northeast WY into the SD area.
Pressure tendencies across northern WY into the northern Plains
will change up to 5-13mb over a 6 to 12 hour period. The large of
a change in surface pressure will result in strong winds. At this
time, 700mb winds are progged to be the strongest across Carbon
County, and also the NE Panhandle area. GFS model guidance is
trending with 50-60 knots at this level. Omega fields show that
subsidence may take a bit of time to coincide with the strongest
winds aloft, so have gone with a High Wind Watch for only Carbon
County zones at this time, but certainly wouldn't be surprised to
see portions of the NE Panhandle added to this headline later
today. The 0Z and 6Z iterations of the HRRR and NamNest highlight
a period of strong wind gusts not only in Carbon County, but the
Pine Ridge area of our cwa. Deterministic 10 meter wind gusts are
depicted to be up to 50-70mph potentially for several areas of the
cwa Monday morning into the afternoon hours. The experimental NBM
4.1 also has numerous regions creeping upwards into the 50+ mph
wind gust range from Monday morning into the afternoon hours. For
areas that won't have as strong of wind gusts, it will still be
breezy for the day. Dry conditions are expected for Monday
afternoon into the overnight period of early Tuesday. However,
there is likely to be weak upslope winds present Monday night. A
closer look to the potential for fog across the North Platte River
Valley and other locations east of I-25 may be prudent once higher
resolution data becomes available.
.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday)
Issued at 330 AM MST Sun Nov 6 2022
Key Impact Messages:
1) Above normal temperatures Tuesday near +10F degrees and pleasant
conditions overall. Enjoy this day as it will be last warmer day
of the extended forecast period.
2) Pattern change signals are afoot Wednesday into Thursday with
strong cold front passage, increasing snow chances for mountains and
High Plains, elevated winds, and much colder temperatures late week
and weekend. Depending on pattern elements, will need to monitor for
a possible potent weather system near the area to just north/east
into the Central and northern Plains. See more details below.
3) Be sure to follow trusted weather sources on this upcoming mid-
week system.
Weather Discussion: Confidence continues to be high in above normal
temperatures Tuesday and it being the warmest day of the next 7-day
period. The U.S. CONUS will be split with amplified ridge east and
digging long wave closed low H5 trough across the Pacific Coast.
Deep SW flow will be in place over WY/NE Tuesday with H7 temperatures
in the +3C to +7C range west to east. Temperatures across the High
Plains will be in the lower to upper 60s with 50s in the higher
mountain valleys. Relative humidity will drop below 20% in a few
locations but winds should remain below red flag criteria.
The main time period to monitor will be late Wednesday into Thursday
for possible winter/wind impacts across parts of SE WY and central
to north Panhandle as a few scenarios could play out. Model cluster
analysis highlights closed low trough positioning over the
Intermountain West of varying latitudinal differences poleward or
equatorward from ID to NV/CA. Multi-model consensus envelope has
slowed slightly on trough axis progression and closed low
positioning remains slightly farther west into mid-day Wednesday. A
shallow cold front will be likely positioned across north WY to near
north NE Panhandle and ooze south through the day Wednesday
underneath H7-H5 SW flow aloft. How far south the shallow front
remains in question or if it hangs up near the WY/CO border and/or
up against the Laramie Range Wednesday afternoon. Stronger surface
cyclogenesis should commence late Wednesday into early Thursday as
parent closed low deepens and ejects into the High Plains. Where the
surface cyclogenesis occurs and translates will be a key factor in
impacts or limited impacts for us Thursday regarding different
evolution scenarios. As the surface low develops and shifts east,
cold air will shift quickly into the region late Wednesday through
early Thursday morning - supporting snow precipitation type across
all areas. Question is: How robust will the moisture content be and
where will it be best concentrated relative to lifting mechanisms.
Scenario 1 is surface low development initially on the Front Range
and shifting faster east into central and northern NE to SD Thursday
with scenario 2 also indicative of surface low development and
deepening along the front range but slightly farther south (near or
south of Palmer Divide) and shifting slower northeast across KS/NE
to north NE through Thursday. Run to run model suite continues to
hone in on a stronger closed low developing across the Central to
Northern Plains during the day Thursday and confidence is growing in
this general consensus. Question will be track differences that
range from 150-250 miles and thus backside deformation zone moisture
plume location. Scenario 1, the more northerly and faster track
still produces some snow for the High Plains, especially for
northern portions of the CWA and then into the Dakotas. Scenario 2,
spells more impacts for SE WY and NE Panhandle that could result in
winter headlines. Looking at ensemble/statistical distributions,
Scenario 2 (GFS tilted) remains a higher QPF outlier and above its
own GEFS mean with a large GEFS spread. ECENS and respective EC
deterministic is roughly 50% lower then the GEFS and GFS
deterministic currently. However, EC has played catch up to the
overall pattern as it shifts closer to the larger scale pattern and
more consistent GFS H5 height/vorticity solutions. NBM probabilities
favor scenario 1 currently but appear to have data integrity issues
and are only incorporating GEFS/GFS raw data at the time of this
writing. This would certainly skew distributions/probabilities
higher and not ready to buy into these statistics and will monitor
future NBM runs.
All this is to share, as noted in key messages above, that overall
confidence of a possible potent winter system is slowly growing for
late Wednesday into next Thursday possibly near the region. Impacts
are not guaranteed at this time as it could shift farther north and
east with only some snow/wind for our area. However, there does
remain the possibility within the solution envelope that greater
snow/wind impacts could result and prompt Headlines to highlight
impacts. Despite the lower confidence of impacts, high confidence
exists in much colder temperatures Thursday through the weekend with
Lows in the teens (some single digits west of Laramie Range) and
Highs barely reaching above freezing. Thursday into Friday will also
be breezy with raw wind chills and unpleasantness overall.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1053 AM MST Sun Nov 6 2022
A weak disturbance will move through the area tonight, bringing
increased cloud cover, gusty winds, and the potential for light
showers. Most terminals will see mostly cloudy skies this afternoon
and wind gusts of 20 to 30 kts. A brief break in the winds will
occur this evening before picking up later tonight as the
disturbance moves through. Gusts of 25 to 35 kts are possible,
especially for western Nebraska terminals. Light showers are also
possible during this time. Looking ahead at Monday, strong, gusty
winds are looking more likely across western Nebraska. Gusts over 45
kts cannot be ruled out, especially for KCDR and KAIA.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 330 AM MST Sun Nov 6 2022
Fire weather concerns will remain low for today as a cold front
moves through the area. Dry air behind this cold front will bring
minimum RH values into the 25-35% range east of the I-25 corridor.
Gusty winds will make a return to Southeast Wyoming and the NE
Panhandle on Monday. Wind gusts in excess of 50-55mph are possible
for FWZs 417, 434, and 435 on Monday. This will create elevated
fire weather conditions for those regions. A strong cold front will
impact the area by mid-week, keeping fire weather concerns at bay.
