Snow Drought Status Update: A March Meltdown: Historically Low Snowpack Melts Across the West, Signaling a Dire Water Supply Situation drought.gov/drought-status… #wywx

#Winter (Dec 2025 thru Feb 2026) rankings for Wyoming and statewide departures from normal. #wywx

Oh, anyway, on to scene twenty-four, which is a smashing scene with some lovely acting, in which Arthur discovers a vital clue, in which there aren't any swallows, although I think you can hear a starling....

#Shelfcloud approaching our Carlile 2S #Mesonet station yesterday (23 Jul 2025) #wywx

Looking into the mists as a visitor runs by our #Mesonet station 2 miles south of Carlile.

Interested in learning the ins and outs of how the @DroughtCenter US Drought Monitor is created each week? On August 7th at 1pm MDT there will be a 1h35m presentation on the process with 25 minutes for Q&A to follow. Register here: bit.ly/4maW2lD #wywx

@DarylRitchison Those bird deterrents really worked well! 😂 Looks like a perfect home for the new family!

The Eastern Kingbird nest is doing fine this evening with the eggs hatched. That station recorded a 73 mph wind later yesterday. Building in our backup rain gauge has advantages. #ndwx #birds

Cumulonimbus calvus and cumulonimbus incus seen from our #Mesonet stations 2 miles east-southeast of Osage (left) and 11 miles northwest of Four Corners (right) yesterday 19 July 2025. The two stations are about 14.5 miles apart. #wywx

Our "Webcam"😄at the #Mesonet station 13 miles south-southeast of Newcastle with snow stake in background.

Double rainbow yesterday seen from our #Mesonet station about 35 miles southwest of Gillette. 0.11" precip received yesterday. Other dots on the map are from @CoCoRaHS stations in the "area." #wywx

#Wyoming. At about 0.17% of the total US Population, our @CoCoRaHS observers have contributed approx 1.37% of the nation's daily observations over the last year. Well done! And we can always use more observers...so join us and report your precip! #wywx cocorahs.org

Last 30 days precip as percent of Normal. <50% of Normal in the southwest. Eastern plains and north central Wyoming getting some good moisture. Become a cocorahs.org volunteer, we'll provide a gauge and you can help fill in some of the data gaps on the map. #wywx

Southeast Wyoming, especially, looks to be getting some decent precipitation in the coming days. We can always use volunteer precipitation observers in the #CoCoRaHS network here. Sign up here cocorahs.org/Content.aspx?p… and we'll equip any Wyoming volunteers who sign up. #wywx

176 CoCoRaHS observers reporting precipitation so far today. Unfortunately in a state like #Wyoming, even with that many observers, it leaves a lot of open space. Help fill those spaces by becoming an observer cocorahs.org/Content.aspx?p… #wywx
