Wyoming Weather Whiplash: Snow and Cold Back in the Forecast

This winter has been one of the most mild and also warmest in Wyoming history. While much of the country has been blanketed in snow (like Georgia and Florida), most of the mountain states have been unseasonably warm. As matter of fact, records were set for all time high temperature throughout much of the Cowboy State. That being said, winter is returning, and sooner than you think.

Changing weather pattern to start the work week as snow pushes in from the west. Windy conditions across much of the area today with above average temperatures east of the Divide, albeit not as much today. Cooler tomorrow with even more precipitation chances to come. #WyWx
