...MUCH COLDER AND WET WEATHER HEADED FOR WESTERN AND CENTRAL WYOMING...

RECORD WARMTH WAS EXPERIENCED AT A FEW LOCATIONS IN WESTERN AND CENTRAL WYOMING ON WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...THE WARM TEMPERATURES WILL COME TO AN ABRUPT END BY THIS WEEKEND. A POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM DEVELOPING OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL BEGIN TO SWING INTO THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND TOWARD WYOMING THURSDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING UNSETTLED WEATHER TO THE AREA FRIDAY THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY.

TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY WILL BE 15 TO 25 DEGREES COOLER THAN THOSE FELT ACROSS THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY. MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT. TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND WILL BE 30 TO 40 DEGREES COLDER THAN READINGS EXPERIENCED ACROSS THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY.

THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THIS POTENT SYSTEM WILL LIKELY PRODUCE ACCUMULATING SNOW IN THE HIGH COUNTRY...WITH SNOW POSSIBLE IN SOME OF THE VALLEYS AND BASINS. THE PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF SATURDAY NIGHT. SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL OF 6 TO 12 INCHES IS POSSIBLE IN THE BIG HORN MOUNTAINS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.

HUNTERS...CAMPERS...HIKERS...AND ANYONE ELSE PLANNING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IN THE MOUNTAINS OR YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK BEGINNING FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND SHOULD PREPARE FOR COLDER AND WET WEATHER. STAY TUNED FOR UPDATED FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS REGARDING THIS ABRUPT WEATHER CHANGE.

A little south of Wyoming, in the Colorado Rockies, the fourteeners have a magnificant white mantle now. I'll try to get a photo for you...

Uh, for the benefit of us ignorant Easterners, what's a "fourteener," please?  ???

Sure, be happy to. A fourteener is a mountain that is higher than 14,000 ft in elevation. Colorado has a whopping 53 of them--more than all of Switzerland!! Your FRiendly Colorado tourist bureau

We're having Indian summer now, after some pretty impressive snowfall (down as low as 8000 feet or so) last weekend. It was really spectacular on Friday, when the clouds cleared in the late afternoon. White snow on the peaks, orange aspens and cottonwoods and oak brush below, sky so blue you could drown in it.

Sounds beautiful!

Thanks! Sorta figgered it has something to do with mountain height, but it's good to get an authoritative answer!  ;D

First frost in my neighborhood at 7300 ft last night (Front Range of Colorado, near the North American Continental Divide). I got my rosemary and geranium plants inside, but forgot about the lemongrass. Hopefully it will make it, it was a light frost. The elk are now bugling so constantly that it's become "white noise" it doesn't even wake me up.
