High winds, mostly clear conditions for Friday; winter storm moves in tonight

(Fremont County, WY) – County 10 meteorologist Dave Lipson has shared that a developing broad trough of low pressure over the Great Basin to the west will tighten the pressure gradient today, April 5, which will result in south winds with guests up to 50 mph.

That trough and a Pacific cold front will approach the area and lead to thickening clouds tonight, with scattered rain showers turning into scattered snow showers.

Southwest winds will continue tonight, Lipson added, with guests still up to 50 mph.

Lipson says to expect a 20-25 degree high temperature drop between today and tomorrow.
