NOAA announced today that they are expecting a cold front to pass through Wyoming on Monday and Tuesday. ย They are forecasting heavy snowfall with this system along with single digit temperatures.
The main reason for the early warning is that this week is going to be very mild in Wyoming and Idaho with temperatures in the 50s, which is balmy for this time of year out there. ย With the quick transition from balmy to single digits, itโd be easy for people to be caught off guard and get into trouble if out in the wilderness. ย Cool to see that NOAA has got our backs.
Weโll keep you updated as this storm organizes and grows closer.
