July 15,2015 Thunderstorms

Meteorologist Jim Woodmencey
We were underneath a Southwesterly flow this week in western Wyoming out ahead of a Trof of Low-pressure that was over the western US. That kept a decent supply of moist and unstable air overhead that produced late day thunderstorms on Monday, none on Tuesday, and then as that Trof got closer, some rain showers & thunderstorms on Wednesday.

The crescendo of activity was Wednesday evening in Jackson Hole as the cold air aloft within that Trof crossed into western WY, acting just like a cold front passing through. Combine that with the best heating of the day, and good lifting in a Westerly flow over the Tetons, and away ya go!



Some Weather Highlights from Wednesday:
  • Between 0.19 & 0.26 inches of rainfall in town.
  • Some pea sized hail.
  • Wind Gust at the Lower Saddle of 76 mph (at 11,610-ft. elevation).
There was also a decent amount of lightning along the Teton Range, and a few good strikes near town, as well.  Below are some images of weather maps during the height of the activity on Wednesday.

  2. Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appeal. I must say you’ve done a great job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Firefox. Outstanding Blog!
