More snow for western Wyoming – almost mid June!

An unseasonably strong late Spring storm will produce significant snowfall across the Western Wyoming Mountains late tonight and into Tuesday.

…Late Season Accumulating Snow Expected for Western Wyoming Late tonight and Tuesday…

The low pressure center will be tracking northeast across Yellowstone Park tonight. This low will be producing numerous showers and thunderstorms this evening. Sharply colder moisture laden air will be circulating around the back side of this low as the low tracks northeast into Montana. This much colder air will lower snow levels all the way down to the valley floor at times by Tuesday morning.

Snow amounts will likely range anywhere from from 4 to 12 inches above 7500 feet along with some isolated amounts of up to 14 inches in the Tetons by Tuesday evening. 1 to 3 inches of snow is expected to accumulate in the Western Wyoming Valleys by Tuesday before melting off Tuesday afternoon.
