.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 500 AM MDT Sat Apr 6 2024
Complex wind and winter storm has begun to impact the region
this region. Latest VIS satellite shows a closed low located
near Sidney with the warm front quickly racing off to the north
with a strong front pushing east through the region. Modest CAA
has filtered in behind this boundary which has dropped
temperatures from the 60s to the upper 30s across the Nebraska
Panhandle and locations across the North Platte River Valley.
This closed low will continue to deepen and slow push off to the
north and east through the rest of the day.
Wind: High to extreme winds have materialized across the region
this afternoon, Numerous sites from the I-80 Summit into
Cheyenne have gusted between 70-75 mph. Remount reported a gust
of 80 mph! Winds are expected to increase through the afternoon
and into the evening as the stinger jet maximizes over the
region and downward omega values increase along the south
Laramie Range and overspread into the Nebraska Panhandle. Model
700mb winds for a 9hr period beginning tonight through tomorrow
morning across much of SE Wyoming are in the 80-85 knot range.
This window will when wind gusts could exceed 80 mph with
sustained winds around 60 mph, this long duration wind event
could turn damaging across the region this evening. Areas that
see snowfall will easily see temporarily blizzard conditions.
Snow: Overall the snow forecast for Converse, Niobrara and the
Pine Ridge region remains on track and this is where we have the
highest confidence for snow amount with significant overrunning
and deep moisture profiles expected. The bulk of the heaviest
snow will occur tonight with period of very heavy snow where
rates could approach 3"/hr at times. High confidence areas from
Manville, Lusk and Harrison could see up to 2 feet of heavy, wet
snow that could bring down trees and powerlines across these
areas. Still watching the favorable upslope regions across the
Pine Ridge for some significant accumulations of snowfall
expected. HI-RES models continue to show a bullseye of snow
across southern Banner counties near Harrisburg this has
remained pretty consistent from run to run and this area is now
in a Winter Storm Watch. The highest degree of difficulty and
discrepancy is for areas along the North Platte River Valley.
Models continue to show high QPF amounts between 1.25" and 1.40"
across these areas but the biggest question is P-type and how
low the snow levels will get. Ensemble members have shifted
toward greater CAA and more snow accumulation for Torrington and
Scottsbluff with ensemble members showing anywhere between 8-10"
of snow and with wind gusts expected to be around 70 mph rapid
blizzard conditions will develop. But if snow levels remain high
enough and the precipitation holds on to a rain/snow mix then
snow accumulations will be significantly lower. With the
potential for significant snowfall accumulations and blizzard
conditions Scotts Bluff, Goshen and Banner counties where put
into a Winter Storm Watch.
This is a very dynamic system that will bring damaging winds,
significant accumulation of heavy, wet snow and periodic
blizzard conditions.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 245 PM MDT Sat Apr 6 2024
Monday night/Tuesday...Drying out period in the wake of the upper
trough and with northwest flow aloft. Definitely warmer on Tuesday
with 700 mb temperatures near 1 Celsius, yielding high temperatures
mainly in the 50s, except 40s in snow covered areas of Converse and
Niobrara Counties.
Wednesday...Somewhat cooler and windy with brisk northwest flow
aloft and the passage of another cold front. With enough low and mid
level moisture, we expect a chance of rain and snow in the
afternoon, mainly over and near the mountains.
Thursday...Another warming trend expected as heights aloft rise on
northwest flow aloft. With limited low and mid level moisture, it
looks dry.
Friday...A decent warming trend is on tap as ridging aloft moves off
to our east and the flow aloft transitions from northwest to
southwest, helping to develop a surface lee trough. With 700 mb
temperatures near 7 Celsius, maximum temperatures will reach the 60s
to mid 70s.
Saturday...The next shortwave trough aloft and its associated cold
front will approach from western Wyoming, spreading a chance of
showers across our counties in the afternoon. Continued mild in the
airmass ahead of the approaching cold front.
