Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cheyenne WY 1040 PM MST Tue Dec 23 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Record breaking warmth is expected to continue through at least Thursday. - Brief high winds possible on both Christmas Eve and Christmas with gusts up to 65 MPH. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/... Issued at 326 PM MST Tue Dec 23 2025 The main story over the next few days will be the record-breaking warmth expected over Christmas Eve and Christmas. Strong upper-level ridging over the center of the country will put the CWA in southwest flow, advecting warm air aloft into the region. 700 mb temperatures on both days will reach +6C, which puts roughly half of the CWA above the 99th percentile of NAEFS climatology. Temperatures west of the Laramie Range will see highs in the 50s and potentially low 60s which is about 25 degrees above average for the end of December! Areas east of the Laramie Range will be even warmer with highs in the 60s and 70s, which is 25 to 30 degrees above average! The warm temperatures, however, will not be without wind. Marginal high winds are possible around the Arlington area early Wednesday morning into early Wednesday afternoon. This appears to mainly be a subsidence driven event with strong downward omegas sending 60 kt winds down to the surface. A High Wind Warning has been issued for Arlington during this time period to account for wind gusts of 60 to 65 MPH. Will also have to keep an eye on Rawlins as strong winds aloft with decent downward omegas also exist. This wind event will luckily be brief, with winds easing during the afternoon. High winds will return early Christmas morning, mainly to Arlington, Carbon County, the South Laramie Range and Converse County. Once again, this is a brief subsidence driven event as MSLP and height gradients show virtually no response during this time frame. 60 kt winds aloft with decent subsidence and downsloping will likely lead to wind gusts over 60 mph in the aforementioned areas. High wind headlines will likely be needed Christmas morning. The shortwave responsible for the high winds on Christmas will also bring some light snow to the mountains. Models show light QPF amounts, however, orographic lift from southwest flow will likely lead to some light accumulations above 9000 feet during the day Thursday. Some light rain showers could be possible in the adjacent high valleys, although the wind direction is not favorable. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... Issued at 326 PM MST Tue Dec 23 2025 The main focus of the long term forecast is the sprawling, disorganized storm system that will slowly move through the area this weekend. Picking up Thursday night, the synoptic pattern will remain dominated by a broad ridge over the central CONUS with southwest flow aloft. Remnant moisture from the west coast storm system will stream into the area, continuing mountain snow shower activity through Saturday. Southwest flow will favor the Sierra Madre range while the Snowy Range will receive less. Expect mixed rain and snow showers to spill into the neighboring valleys of Carbon and Albany counties through Friday, but this should become mostly or all snow Friday night into Saturday as colder air moves in and snow levels drop. Elsewhere, Friday will bring one more day of well above average temperatures, although it should be several degrees cooler than the earlier part of this week. Highs will "only" be 15-20F above average. These will still be within a few degrees of daily record highs, with Chadron and Alliance currently most likely to match their daily records. Breezy to windy conditions will also continue over most of the area ahead of the surface cold front. Pressure and height gradients across the area are unimpressive, but most guidance has 700-mb winds around 40 knots covering much of the area. High wind probabilities are around 25% for Arlington/Elk Mountain, and near 50% the I-25 corridor wind prone areas and the I- 80 summit. Winds were nudged towards the NBM 75th percentile for this period. Gusty winds may carry into friday night or early Saturday, but a break in the windy pattern is expected by Saturday afternoon or evening. A strong upper level low will pass well to our north this weekend, but a potent surface high will dive down the eastern side of the Rockies in its wake. Expect temperatures to drop quickly behind this front, ushering in colder air by Sunday. Currently, this system looks to be unsurprisingly moisture starved. However, almost all of these weak arctic fronts this season have managed to over perform with fairly widespread light snow showers. Therefore, decided to bump PoPs up ever so slightly over the High Plains to get a mention of a slight chance for snow Saturday night. 700-mb temperatures will bottom out around -10C Sunday morning. While this appears in some aspects to be a dramatic cold front, this is not likely to be a substantial cold air outbreak at this time. Forecast highs for Sunday are generally in the 30s, which is near average west of I-25 and a few degrees cooler than average to the east. This taste of winter will be short-lived as models are now in excellent agreement showing another very strong upper level ridge building in early next week. There is some discrepancy in timing of the return to above average temperatures, but expect a warming trend to resume in the early part of next week. During this phase of the warmth, the jet stream looks to be pushed well to the north, so we are not expecting the widespread strong winds we have seen the last two weeks. Occasional marginal wind prone area wind events will still be possible, but widespread wind events look fairly unlikely for the last few days of 2025. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/... Issued at 1040 PM MST Tue Dec 23 2025 Upper level ridge axis will remain east of the Front Range over the next 24 hours. Other than windy conditions over a few of the southeast Wyoming terminals, quiet weather is expected for Aviation purposes. HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR conditions expected. Primary concern will be windy conditions over KRWL and LLWS for KLAR and possibly KCYS through 15z Wednesday. Gusts up to 45 knots are possible at KRWL with gusts around 30 knots at KLAR. Winds will generally be light for the terminals across the eastern plains. && .CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WY...High Wind Warning from 2 AM to 11 AM MST Wednesday for WYZ110.
