Riverton, WY – The National Weather Service in Riverton has extended a Winter Weather Advisory through 11 p.m. MDT Thursday, warning of continued snowfall across western Wyoming’s mountain regions.
According to the NWS, 1 to 3 inches of snow are expected between 7,500 and 9,000 feet, with 4 to 7 inches possible over higher elevations, particularly on east-facing slopes of the Wind River Mountains. The Teton, Gros Ventre, Salt River, Wyoming, and Absaroka Ranges are all included in the advisory area.
