NWS Forecaster Discussion
288 fxus65 kcys 190316 afdcys Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Cheyenne Wyoming 916 PM MDT Thursday Mar 18 2010 Update... area webcams depict snow and low clouds increasing over the past hour or two across southeast Wyoming. This trend will continue through the overnight hours. Initial look at the 00z NAM would suggest a bit tempered snowfall accumulations across the area...with perhaps 1 to 3 north of a kdgw to kbff line. South of this line accumulations may reach 3 to 7 inches. Will keep current hilite package going for now...and await the 00z GFS for confirmation. Hahn && Previous discussion... /issued 255 PM MDT Thursday Mar 18 2010/ Short term...tonight through Friday... Certainly not an easy forecast for tonight. Have a surface low centered over western Wyoming this afternoon with a trailing cold front extending southwestward into central Utah and southern Nevada. Starting to see an increase in aerial coverage of snow across rivertons County Warning Area this afternoon. Temperatures were fairly warm this afternoon with upper 40s/low 50s across the Nebraska Panhandle and extreme southeast Wyoming...while south central Wyoming is seeing current temperatures in the middle 40s. Precipitation really begins picking up this evening after 6 PM across our western zones as the cold front progresses east. Best isentropic lift looks to occur around the 9 PM through 9 am time period across southern Wyoming and Nebraska Panhandle. Went ahead and issued winter storm warnings for most of our southern Wyoming and southern Nebraska Panhandle counties. For our Nebraska counties back to Laramie County...models really hit winds pretty hard as well. Have snow accumulations of 5 to 8 inches in these areas...but do believe we will be impacted equally as bad by blowing snow/drifting snow as well. By noon time or so...the storm should be coming to an end from west to east...though GFS is showing a secondary upper vorticity system moving through the area that could keep light snow/flurries going for most of the afternoon. Long term...Friday night through Thursday... the European model (ecmwf) is the model of choice for the extended period. Snow will end from north to south Friday night as the upper trough axis moves to the east of the County Warning Area. A large amplitude upper ridge will move over the western U.S. On Sat with north to northwest flow aloft over the forecast area and downslope wind at the surface. This will result in dry conditions for the area from Sat through Monday. Sat will still be cold but temperatures will warm quite a bit on sun and Monday. The upper ridge axis will move east of the County Warning Area by Monday night with another deepening upper trough moving inland from the West Coast. The flow aloft will become SW over the forecast area by Monday night. A chance of snow can be expected west of the Laramie range Monday night and Tuesday morning...with snow changing to rain at the lower elevations Tuesday afternoon. An upper low will form over the Great Basin on Tuesday and a cold front will move across the area during the day. The upper low will move into western Colorado Tuesday night. North to northeast winds will occur at the surface at this time and with moist low and middle layers...will go with a chance of snow showers across the entire County Warning Area Tuesday night. Rain and snow showers will continue through the day Wednesday as the upper low moves across the central rockies and out onto the Central Plains. Dry conditions will occur Wednesday night and Thursday as the upper trough moves to the east and the upper ridge rebuilds over the western U.S. High temperatures will be up to 15 degrees below normal on Sat...around normal sun...4 to 6 degrees above normal on Monday...and around normal Tuesday through Thursday. && Aviation... conditions expected to deteriorate this evening as snow begins to fall from west to east...impacting our western airports around the 00z timeframe. Further east...impacts expected to be snow and blowing snow across the Nebraska Panhandle. LIFR/IFR conditions expected to continue across southeast Wyoming and Nebraska Panhandle through Friday afternoon. && Fire weather... no concerns through Friday with much cooler temperatures and snowfall. && Cys watches/warnings/advisories...
