Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 12:49 PM MDT on October 7, 2008

... A major change to colder and snowy weather is headed for much of
central and western Wyoming Thursday night through Saturday...

A cold storm system over the Gulf of Alaska is forecast to drop into
the Great Basin Wednesday into Thursday and then stall out over
the southern Idaho... northern Utah area Friday into Saturday.
At the same time... cold air will plunge southward out of Canada
providing for strong upslope east of The Divide... especially Thursday
night through Saturday. Snow will likely develop in the mountains by
Thursday night... possibly becoming heavy at times and continuing
through Saturday. The most significant mountain snowfall will
likely be over the Wind River mountains... East Slope of the
absarokas... Owl Creek and Bridger Mountains... southern big horns
and Casper Mountain.

The lower elevations of central and southwest Wyoming will also have
the potential for significant snowfall Friday and Saturday. The
first piece of this system will bring an increasing chance of rain
showers to these areas Thursday. Colder air and increasing upslope
flow will develop Thursday night and Friday with rain changing over
to snow. The Cody foothills will likely see rain change over to
snow by sunrise Friday and possibly the Lander foothills. It
also appears that other areas such as the Wind River basin and lower
elevations of Johnson County will also see rain change over to snow
during the day Friday including Riverton and Buffalo. Casper will see
a cold rain or rain and snow mixture Friday... possibly changing over
to all snow by afternoon. All areas will see snow Friday night and
quite possibly through the day Saturday.

Snowfall amounts are still uncertain but the potential for 6 to 12
inches of snow does exist across the lower elevations east of The
Divide and in the Upper Green river basin. The East Slope of the Wind
River mountains... The Owl creek and Bridger Mountains... the
southern end of the Absaroka Mountains... the southern big horns and
Casper Mountain may see over a foot of snow.

Hunters... travellers and others with outdoor interests should pay
close attention to the weather forecast over the next couple days.
The mild... early Fall weather is about to come to a screeching
halt. Listen to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite media outlet
for the latest forecasts and winter statements.
