Snowy Weekend Ahead

Snow spread across Star  Valley this Friday morning, and will be persisting through the weekend.  Riverton Forecast Office in their weekly video presentation provides an excellent discussion what is ahead.

The precipitation forecast for the next 3 days through Monday morning shows water content of the snow that falls will range upwards to close to an inch over the Western Wyoming mountains.

Total precipitation Friday morning to Monday morning.

Given a snow/rain ratio of 15-20 to 1,  total new snow would range from 1-2 feet in the mountains and possibly a foot in the nearby valleys, including Star Valley.
