...Late Season Accumulating Snow Expected for Western Wyoming

.An unseasonably strong late Spring storm will produce
significant snowfall across the Western Wyoming Mountains through
today. Sharply colder moisture laden air will be circulating
around the back side of an upper low pressure system as it tracks
across the northern border of Wyoming. This much colder air will
also lower snow levels all the way down to the valley floor at
times early this morning. Snow amounts will likely range anywhere
from from 3 to 10 inches above 7500 feet along with some isolated
amounts of up to 12 inches in the Tetons by this evening. A trace
to 2 inches of snow is expected to accumulate in the Western
Wyoming Valleys by noon today before melting off this afternoon.
