Central Wyoming

I knew that Glenrock was named after "The Rock In The Glen" but I had NO idea that it actually had several other names before Glenrock was officially chosen.

I was impressed with the beauty I saw in this video of a plane flying from Douglas to Glendo (with some flight time over Esterbrook).

The National Weather Service in Riverton on Monday issued a winter storm watch for much of central Wyoming.

Wind gusts and low humidity will cause increased fire danger.

Wind gusts up to 50 mph will be possible with these storms.

Wyoming counties included are Big Horn, Hot Springs, Johnson, Natrona, Park, Sheridan and Washakie.

Precipitation is expected to develop east of the Divide late today into the evening hours as the upper-level system shifts into central and eastern Wyoming.

The flooding began over the weekend when warm temperatures melted snow and ice jams caused water to back up.

The conditions could aggravate the growth of and the fighting of wildfires in much of the state.

The snow is expected to become heavy over the mountains, with total accumulations of 12 inches to 18 inches, with locally higher amounts.

National Weather Service in Riverton passes along that starting at midnight tonight, through Tuesday, April 5th at 6pm - there is a high wind warning in effect. Here's what they say to expect:
