(WYDOT)</figcaption></figure>CASPER, Wyo. — Natrona County residents can expect a brief reprieve from active weather Saturday before a multi-day system brings rain, snow and potential thunderstorms to the region starting Sunday morning.The National Weather Service in Riverton reported Saturday that lingering light snow showers near Muddy Gap and Casper would diminish before daybreak, giving way to a mostly sunny Saturday. High temperatures are expected to reach near 46 degrees, with light northeast winds developing in the afternoon. Forecasters describe the conditions as a “brief lull” caused by a flattening upper-level trough ahead of the arriving shortwave.The weather pattern is scheduled to shift late Saturday night as cloud cover increases and isolated showers move into the area. By Sunday, the probability of precipitation rises to 90%. Meteorologists anticipate a mix of rain and snow showers before 11 a.m., transitioning primarily to rain as the afternoon high reaches 48 degrees. Some isolated thunder is also possible during the day.Impacts from this system are expected to peak Sunday night into Monday morning. The NWS in Riverton has issued a 100% chance of precipitation for Sunday night, with rain likely mixing with snow before turning to all snow after 3 a.m. While Casper may see less than a half-inch of new snow accumulation, higher elevations in the Wind River and Bighorn Mountains could see 6 inches or more.Unsettled conditions will persist through the early half of the work week. Monday is forecast to remain mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of rain and snow showers and a high near 47 degrees. Another round of showers is likely Monday night, followed by a slight warming trend on Tuesday as the high climbs to 52 degrees. Despite the warmer air, the region remains under a 50% chance of rain and snow showers on Tuesday, with thunderstorms possible before midnight.Forecasters indicate the trough will begin to move out of the area by late Wednesday. High temperatures are projected to reach 57 degrees on Wednesday and 53 degrees on Thursday, though both days carry a continued chance of showers and thunderstorms.A more significant shift in the weather pattern is expected by the end of the week.
