NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
1051 PM MST WED JAN 8 2014
.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 918 PM MST WED JAN 8 2014
GRIDDED FORECASTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT
BASED ON TRENDS...AS WELL AS DETAILED PERUSAL OF THE 00Z NAM AND
GFS. NEXT NEUTRALLY TILTED SHORTWAVE TROUGH ALOFT MOVES SLOWLY
EASTWARD TO CENTRAL WYOMING BY DAWN. LOW AND MID LEVEL MOISTURE
DECREASE SLOWLY OVER OUR SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS...THUS EXPECT AREAL
SNOW COVERAGE TO DECREASE AS WELL OVER THE SNOWY AND SIERRA MADRE
RANGES.
LOW LEVEL GRADIENTS INCREASE SLIGHTLY AS WELL PER THE
850/700 MB CRAIG TO CASPER GRADIENTS...AS WELL AS VISUALLY ON THE
SURFACE PROGS...THUS EXPECT WINDS...ESPECIALLY WEST OF INTERSTATE
25...TO STRENGTHEN THE REST OF THE NIGHT...AND WE WILL NEED TO
KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON WINDS AT ARLINGTON ALONG INTERSTATE 80 IN
EASTERN CARBON COUNTY.
TRENDS HAVE SHOWN AREAL FOG COVERAGE DECREASING EAST OF INTERSTATE
25...AS BOUNDARY LAYER WIND AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY PROGS...HAVE
SUGGESTED. HAVE INCLUDED SOME AREAS OF FOG ACROSS NIOBRARA COUNTY
INCLUDING LUSK...THOUGH BELIEVE MUCH OF THIS FOG WILL LIKELY
DISSIPATE AFTER MIDNIGHT AS LOW LEVEL WINDS BECOME WEST.
TEMPERATURES...DEWPOINTS...WINDS AND CLOUD COVER ADJUSTED FOR THE
REST OF TONIGHT.
UPDATE ISSUED AT 659 PM MST WED JAN 8 2014
IN GRIDDED FORECASTS...HAVE EXPANDED ON AREAS OF DENSE FOG FOR
THIS EVENING ACROSS NIOBRARA...PLATTE...GOSHEN...SIOUX...DAWES
AND BOX BUTTE COUNTIES...AS SURFACE OBSERVATIONS NOW SHOW LUSK
WITH DENSE FOG...AND THE 11 MICRON SATELLITE IMAGERY STARTING TO
SHOW DENSE FOG EXPANDING SLIGHTLY IN AREAL COVERAGE.
00Z NAM BOUNDARY LAYER PROGS INDICATE WINDS VEERING TO WEST
SOUTHWEST...AND THEN WEST THE REST OF THE NIGHT...WITH BOUNDARY
LAYER RELATIVE HUMIDITY REMAINING BELOW 70 PERCENT...THUS AM
NOT EXPECTING DENSE FOG TO BECOME TOO WIDESPREAD. THUS...HAVE
INCREASED AREAL COVERAGE OF DENSE FOG IN GRIDDED FORECASTS...AND
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS FOR A POSSIBLE DENSE FOG ADVISORY
ISSUANCE...THOUGH BASED ON MODEL TRENDS...THIS SCENARIO IS LOOKING
INCREASINGLY LESS LIKELY.
UPDATE ISSUED AT 553 PM MST WED JAN 8 2014
WE JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM OLD FORT LARAMIE IN WEST CENTRAL
GOSHEN COUNTY WYOMING...REPORTING DENSE FOG...THUS HAVE ADDED
THIS TO THE GRIDS UPON CHECKING OUT THE 11 MICRON SATELLITE IMAGERY
AND WILL ALSO SEND OUT A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT TO ALERT
PEOPLE TRAVELING ALONG HIGHWAY 26 BETWEEN GUERNSEY AND LINGLE.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 300 PM MST WED JAN 8 2014
FORECAST CHALLENGES DEAL WITH SNOW TOTALS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND
ONSET OF A LONG DURATION HIGH WIND EVENT.
CURRENTLY...FAIRLY LIGHT WINDS THIS AFTERNOON ARE BEING OBSERVED
ACROSS THE CWFA. LOW PRESSURE OFF THE COAST OF VANCOUVER WILL BE
OUR NEXT WEATHER PRODUCER.
FORECAST GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW WINDS INCREASING AS THIS LOW
MOVES INLAND. GFS 700MB WINDS INCREASE TO NEAR 50KTS THURSDAY
AFTERNOON WITH CRAIG TO CASPER 700MB GRADIENT INCREASING TO 50MTRS
THURSDAY EVENING. WENT AHEAD WITH A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE WIND
PRONE AREAS AS THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO START A LITTLE EARLIER.
BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE PAINTING SOME PRETTY SOLID 6 HOURLY QPF
VALUES OUT OVER THE SNOWY AND SIERRA MADRE RANGES TOMORROW NIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY. GETTING 12-14 INCHES OF SNOW IN MY FORECAST FOR
THEM. THE COMBINATION OF THIS MODERATE SNOW ALONG WITH THE STRONG
WINDS COULD LEAD TO WHITEOUT OR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FOR THE SNOWY
AN SIERRA MADRE RANGES AS WELL. WINTER STORM WATCHES HAVE BEEN
POSTED FOR THESE AREAS.
GFS 700MB WINDS INCREASE TO 65KTS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS THE UPPER
LOW MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. A QUICK MOVING SHORTWAVE RIDGE MOVES
THROUGH THE AREA WITH 700MB WINDS REMAINING STRONG INTO SATURDAY.
.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 151 PM MST WED JAN 8 2014
MODELS NOW IN GOOD AGREEMENT DURING THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK WITH ONLY MINOR DIFFERENCES OBSERVED BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF
ON SUNDAY. THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE
POTENTIAL FOR VERY STRONG WINDS ACROSS SOUTHEAST WYOMING...WHICH MAY
OCCUR NEARLY EVERY DAY ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST WYOMING WHILE
THE HIGH VALLEYS AND HIGH PLAINS MAY OBSERVE SOME OF THE STRONGEST
WINDS IN YEARS BY SUNDAY. DO NOT EXPECT IT TO BE VERY WINDY ALL
THE TIME WITH GAP WINDS AND MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTIVITY ALSO EXPECTED
IN ADDITION TO A STRONG COLD FRONT. GAP AND MOUNTAIN WAVE INDUCED
WINDS TEND TO HAVE PERIODS OF STRONGER GUSTS FOLLOWED BY A
RELATIVE CALM AT TIMES.
MODELS SHOW ANOTHER PROGRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PUSHING ACROSS
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND INTO THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL ROCKYS BY
SATURDAY NIGHT. SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION IS POSSIBLE WITH THE
ARRIVAL OF THE COLD FRONT...OTHERWISE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF STRONG
GUSTY WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS
UP TO 70 MPH ACROSS MOST OF SOUTHEAST WYOMING AND GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH
ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA. MODELS HAVE TRENDED HIGHER WITH WIND
SPEEDS IN THE LAST FEW RUNS...AND NOW SHOW 700MB WINDS
APPROACHING 75 TO 80 KNOTS BY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AFTERNOON. ALL
THE INGREDIENTS FOR A SIGNIFICANT STRONG WIND EVENT APPEAR TO BE
PRESENT SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...INCLUDING STRONG SUBSIDENCE IN
DOWNSLOPE FLOW...JET ENERGY...AND A STRONG LOW TO MIDLEVEL
PRESSURE GRADIENT. IN FACT...MODELS HAVE TRENDED HIGHER ON THE
STRENGTH OF THE JET STREAM ACROSS WYOMING...ADDING MORE POTENTIAL
FOR STRONG WINDS. KEPT WINDS GENERALLY BETWEEN 25 TO 40 MPH
SUSTAINED ACROSS SOUTHEAST WYOMING SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY WITH
GUSTS UP TO 65 MPH FOR NOW. AS THIS PROLONGED EVENT GETS
CLOSER...WILL ADD SOME MORE DETAILS AND TIMING SINCE SUSTAINED
WINDS BETWEEN 40 TO 50 MPH AND GUSTS TO AROUND 70 MPH APPEAR
LIKELY AT TIMES IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS. INCREASED WINDS A BIT ON
SUNDAY...BUT NOT AS MUCH AS MODELS AND MOS GUIDANCE SUGGEST SINCE
THE ECMWF IS NOT QUITE THAT AGGRESSIVE YET...ALTHOUGH IT IS
TRENDING TOWARDS THE GFS OVER TIME. AS FOR PRECIPITATION...KEPT
POP AROUND 20 PERCENT OVER THE HIGH VALLEYS AND HIGH PLAINS ON
SUNDAY WITH POP NEAR 80 PERCENT FOR THE MOUNTAINS. THE MOUNTAINS
WILL DO VERY WELL WITH THIS PATTERN WITH SNOW ACCUMULATIONS LIKELY
OVER A FOOT DURING THIS WEEKEND ALONE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
WARMEST ON SATURDAY AND WILL FALL BY SUNDAY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 30S AND 40S...THE
WARMEST BEING ON SATURDAY WHICH MAY SEE A FEW LOCATIONS AROUND 50
BELOW 5000 FEET. THE TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY
MONDAY...BUT WITH 700MB WINDS REMAINING ABOVE 65 KNOTS WITH A
STRONG LLVL PRESSURE GRADIENT...ANOTHER VERY WINDY DAY IS
EXPECTED. WINDS WILL EVENTUALLY SUBSIDE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS
THE LOW TO MID LEVEL PRESSURE GRADIENTS RELAX AND HIGH PRESSURE
ALOFT BUILDS INTO THE AREA.
