JACKSON, Wyo. — The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a Winter Weather Advisory at 12:41 p.m. on Monday, Feb 26 that will be in effect until 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 27.
According to the NWS, snow is expected to accumulate up to two to six inches, with isolated amounts up to eight inches. Winds are predicted to gust as high as 30 to 40 mph with isolated gusts near 50 mph possible.
Patchy blowing snow might reduce visibility, at times. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute. Drivers are recommended to give themselves more time when traveling to a destination, slow down and use caution.
Buckrail Meteorologist Alan Smith’s forecast predicted that a strong storm would be possible, as a trough of low pressure deepens from the Gulf of Alaska into the Pacific Northwest, opening the door to significant moisture and energy from the west.
