Weather Alert in Wyoming
Hydrologic Outlook issued May 31 at 11:59AM MDT by NWS Riverton WY
AREAS AFFECTED: Big Horn, WY; Fremont, WY; Hot Springs, WY; Johnson, WY; Lincoln, WY; Natrona, WY; Park, WY; Sublette, WY; Sweetwater, WY; Teton, WY; Washakie, WY
DESCRIPTION: ESFRIW Temperatures are expected to reach the mid to upper 80s this weekend. Sunday will be the warmest day, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s across many locations. Low temperatures will also remain well above freezing with low temperatures in the 40s at elevations above 9500 feet. These warm temperatures will continue to lead to an increase in the rate of mountain snowmelt. Most mountain snowpack below 9500 feet has melted out, however, high-elevation mountain snow water equivalent (SWE) above that level still remains. With the expected warm temperatures, a significant portion of that high-elevation snowpack is expected to continue to melt through Sunday night. Minor flooding of small streams and creeks fed by mountain snowmelt is thus possible through Monday. Highest stream flows and crests are expected to occur Sunday morning and Monday morning. Stay tuned for the latest river forecasts. Remember, if you encounter a flooded roadway, turn around don't drown. You never know what road conditions are hidden under the water.

Fog is technically a type of stratus cloud, which lies along the
ground and obscures visibility.
It is usually created when humidity in the air condenses into tiny water droplets.
Because of this, some places are more prone to foggy weather, such as regions
close to a body of water.
Fog is similar to mist; both are the appearance of water droplets suspended in
the air, but fog is the term applied to the condition when visibility is less than 1 km.

Freezing rain is a condition where precipitation which has fallen in the form of
water droplets reaches temperatures which are below freezing and freezes upon
coming into contact
with surface objects. The result of this precipitation is a glaze of ice which
can be damaging to plants and man-made structures. A severe onset of freezing
rain which results in a very thick glaze of ice is known as an ice storm.
