Cheyenne National Weather Service Issues Winter Storm, High Wind Warnings

Cheyenne and Laramie ae facing High Wind Warnings on Tuesday, with possible snow. That combination could lead to poor visibility and dangerous driving conditions, especially for light, high profile vehicles.

Meanwhile, the Sierra Madre and Snowy Range mountain ranges in southeast Wyoming are facing Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories.

All of southeast Wyoming could also receive much-needed snow as the week continues.

That's all according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service. The agency posted the following on its website:

The agency issued a decision packet that includes the following key points:

Tuesday will see several winter weather concerns across the region. A Winter Storm Warning and a Winter Weather Advisory have been issued for the Sierra-Madre and Snowy Ranges respectfully, alongside an Advisory for the Arlington area as well. Snow squalls will also be possible outside of these regions, primarily west of I-25.

The other major issue is strong winds, according to the National Weather Service:

High Wind Warnings have been issued for most of Southeast Wyoming for late Monday through Tuesday evening. High Wind Watches are also in effect for the Nebraska Panhandle for Tuesday, with higher uncertainty in winds reaching High Wind status (58+ mph).

Despite the possible snow, Red Flag Fire Warnings are also in effect in some areas:

Red Flag Warnings have been issued across the Nebraska Panhandle and portions of Southeast Wyoming on Tuesday, with high wind gusts alongside relative humidities into the teens to nearing single digits for the day. Rapid fire spread is expected to be possible.
