19 Aug 09 – “An unseasonably strong cold front moved across Wyoming
Friday night and Saturday ushering in well below average temperatures
and widespread precipitation …Highs this past weekend were 15 to 25
degrees below average with lows 10 to 20 degrees below average. Snow
fell generally above 9000 feet with a few inches in the Bighorns above
10000 feet. Some lower elevations west of the Divide reached
freezing Saturday night. Brrr! …Although temperatures will be
warmer the next couple of days, they will still be well below average
for this time of year.
So far Casper is on pace to have the coolest summer
(Jun 1 - Aug 31) on record (1939 to present). Downtown Riverton is on
pace to have the 17th coolest summer on record (1907 to present).
Lander currently is the 27th coolest summer on record (1891 to present).
Rock Springs would be the 9th coolest with records going back to 1948.
So if you thought it was a cool summer, you would be right.
