The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Grand Targhee Resort. Persistent snowfall is forecasted to impact the area Today – Thursday. This system is much colder than the last, so accumulating snowfall is expected to occur all the way down the valley floors.
“A rapidly moving, potent winter storm will follow on the heels of the rain and snow event that impacted Western and Central Wyoming during the last few days. This weather system has colder air with it than the last weather system and will likely contain stronger winds.“
