Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 1:20 PM MDT on March 16, 2010

... A major change back to cold and snowy conditions is in store
for Thursday through Friday...

A developing storm system off the Pacific northwest coast will
combine with cold air sliding south out of Canada to produce a
potentially significant snowstorm east of The Divide late Thursday
or Thursday evening into Friday. The storm system will gradually
exit the area from from north to south on Friday.

The storm will be accompanied by sharply colder air as a strong
cold front pushes southward Thursday into Thursday evening.
After balmy highs in the 50s and 60s today and Wednesday...
temperatures will fall into the 40s to lower 50s on Thursday and
only in the 20s to lower 30s on Friday.

Exact snowfall amounts are still uncertain but it appears many
areas will see 2 to 4 inches of snow across the lower elevations
with 5 to 7 inches the upslope areas from the Lander foothills
over to Casper. The East Slope of the Wind River mountains and
Casper Mountain may see 6 to 12 inches. The potential for even
heavier snow does exist depending on the exact track and intensity
of this storm system.

The rain will change over to snow across the north late Thursday
and across the rest of central Wyoming Thursday
evening... spreading into the Red Desert late Thursday night. The
snow will be accompanied by gusty north to northeast winds of 15
to 30 mph with areas of stronger gusts... especially over South
Pass and portions of northern Johnson County.

Ranchers should be prepared for the sudden return to cold... wet
... Windy and snowy conditions Thursday into Friday. Travellers
should stay abreast of the latest forecasts and any future winter
weather advisories. Travel will likely become quite treacherous
Thursday night as the wet roads freeze over and then get coated
with fresh snow.
