...WIND EVENT SUMMARY...
A compact weather system, with plenty of energy brought widespread
windy conditions to western and central Wyoming on Saturday March
22, 2025. A strong cold front pushed south through western and
central Wyoming during the day on Saturday, which caused wind to be
very strong from the west and southwest late Saturday morning
through Saturday afternoon. In addition to this, the sun allowed
temperatures to warm ahead of the cold front and create instability
for strong convective rain/snow bands. These convective snow bands
caused strong wind gusts at several locations. Most notably, at
Worland, Buffalo, and Tisdale Divide along I-25 between Casper and
Buffalo.
