A potent weather system is shaping up to affect Central and Western Wyoming, encompassing both sides of the Divide. Steady moderate to heavy snowfall is expected to begin during the pre dawn hours Monday morning in Western Wyoming and last through about mid day Monday, followed by additional moderate to heavy snow showers Monday afternoon. We can expect a likelihood of significant snowfall accumulation in Western Wyoming by late Monday. The combination of strong winds and significant snowfall will likely result in considerable blowing and drifting snow in Western Wyoming. In addition, very strong winds will accompany this weather system, with the strongest winds expected at the higher elevations, the east facing slopes of the Continental Divide and the adjacent foothills, as well as along the Southern Wind Corridor from Rock Springs to Casper. Very strong winds are also likely across the Central Basins east of the Divide and Northern Johnson County Monday evening. Almost all areas will experience significant winds at some point. Stay tuned for further updates, statements and possible warnings concerning this storm as this weather system evolves. $$ TEAM RIVERTON
