Passing Snowshowers

This noon time cloudscape occurred after a morning minimum temperature of 1 degree F! This has to be the coldest temperature so late in the spring for the Cheyenne, Wyoming area. As the inversion (warm air over cold air) mixed out, temperatures recovered to 33F. However, winds increased to 27mph with gusts to 45 mph at the time of this image (wind chill dipped to 15F). Clouds tried to develop vertically but were capped by a stable (warmer layer aloft). Snow showers are seen at the extreme right.
