SYNOPSIS: A winter storm will spread moderate to heavy amounts of snow, along with windy conditions, into Western Wyoming tonight through early Monday morning.  The heaviest snowfall is expected to occur Sunday night as the main system and associated cold front move across the area.  Light snowfall is expected to spread east of the Divide late Sunday night and into the day Monday, as the strong cold front plows southeast across Wyoming.  Much colder air is expected in the wake of this cold front Sunday night and Monday.  High temperatures on Tuesday will be about 20 degrees below average, with highs generally in the teens.
