Despite an overcast and rainy start to the work week, it looks like the weather should start to dry out and warm up as the week moves on.
Dave Lipson, a meteorologist in the Riverton Office of the National Weather Service, says Monday afternoon should see the last of the rain showers, at least for a few days. Lipson warns that the rain could have a bit of a “grand finale” this afternoon (Monday).
“Perhaps by three o’clock in the afternoon we could see some showers gather, you know, more localized types of showers—more hit and miss—and any showers you do get could be relatively heavy,” said Lipson. “You could even see a thunderstorm. You can’t completely rule that out.”
This evening, though, Lipson says the rain should start to dry out and we’ll begin to see a warming trend through the rest of the work week.
Lipson said temperatures could reach the high 50’s on Tuesday, low 60’s on Wednesday, high 60’s Thursday, and even the low 70’s Friday. For the second week in a row, it looks like Friday will be the warmest day of the week.
Saturday the temperature will start to go down a little bit, reaching a high in the 60’s. Lipson says that temperature drop will be largely due to clouds from the next system starting to move in.
The next system will likely impact areas west of Rock Springs and Green River, though.
“The western part of the state could start to get wet again starting Thursday afternoon—mainly afternoon showers and maybe some thunderstorms—but Rock Springs may be a little too far east to capture much of that rainfall,” said Lipson.
Lipson did say Rock Springs and Green River may see a few isolated showers, but will likely not have much rainfall, if any at all, later in the week and into the weekend
