It was a weekend of rain in Powell and snow in the mountains, prompting road closures at Yellowstone National Park.For the month of June alone, as of Monday morning, Powell has received 1.45 unofficial inches of rain. At around 10 a.m. Monday, humidity was at 80 percent with indigo clouds dominating the horizon.

Measuring Powell precipitation between 1981 to 2000, the average in June is 1.4 inches, said Andy Church, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Riverton.

Across the state, Church said June is one of the two most moist months.

Chilly? You can probably stow the sweater, but pack a raincoat or umbrella.

A gradual warming trend began Monday and temperatures are expected to increase a few degrees exponentially each day, with scattered afternoon showers for the next week, Church said.

In Powell it rained. In the mountains it snowed.

Kirwin, high up the Wood River, received a foot of snow over the weekend. Beartooth Lake received 9 inches; Crandall Creek, 6.5 inches; Evening Star snotel site (north of the North Fork of the Shoshone River) received 6 inches; and Blackwater Creek snotel site received 9 inches, Church said.

Yellowstone was dumped on, too.

Two Ocean Plateau received 8 inches of snow; Sylvan Pass, 6 inches; Lewis Lake Divide, 5 inches; Thumb Divide, 4 inches and the East Entrance, 3 inches.

On Sunday, the South and East entrances of the park were temporarily closed due to snow. Dunraven Pass in Yellowstone and Beartooth Pass were closed Monday.

According to the Associated Press, the Cody area received 3 inches over the weekend.

More rain/snow is good news with the traditionally drier months of July and August, ushering in the summer fire season, Church said.

“It's July and August when we really dry out,” Church said.
