Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Wyoming Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th.
Folks, Wyoming woke up angry today. We're talking single digits across the board. The kind of cold where your nose hairs freeze before you reach the truck.
Western Wyoming sits at 6 degrees right now. Central regions? Nine degrees. Southeast nudges up to 10. Here's the thing. Those numbers barely matter because it's brutal everywhere. Wind makes it worse. The southeast is catching gusts around 15 miles an hour. Western Wyoming deals with steadier breezes near 7 miles an hour. Either way, exposed skin isn't your friend this morning.
One bright spot. Skies are crystal clear. And we're gaining almost 3 minutes of daylight today. Sunrise hit at 6:32 A.M. Sunset stretches to 5:19 P.M. Air quality is moderate, so sensitive groups should take it easy outdoors.
Tonight the cold digs deeper. Western Wyoming drops near zero. Central and southeast hover in the low single digits. Winds ease a touch, but that chill isn't going anywhere.
Tomorrow brings a small gift. Highs crawl into the mid teens out west. Southeast could see low 20s. Still cold enough to make your coffee steam like a locomotive, but progress.
Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Temperatures slowly climb, with highs pushing into the 30s by midweek. No big storms lurking, but western Wyoming could see some light snow by Thursday. Otherwise it's dry and seasonably cold. Classic February. If you're itching to hit the slopes, conditions at Jackson Hole should stay solid all week.
So. If you're enjoying these daily updates, share us with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps this thing going, and we appreciate every single one of you.
Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!
