National Weather Service in Cheyenne

Multiple rounds of moderate to heavy snow are expected to impact mountain travel in southeast Wyoming over the next few days, the National Weather Service in Cheyenne says.

Those headed out for a pint of green beer tonight may want to wear extra layers of green, as lows are expected to be in the single digits to low 20s.

Heavy mountain snow combined with wind gusts as high as 60 mph could make travel "very difficult" in southeast Wyoming Friday and Saturday, the National Weather Service in Cheyenne says.

Snow continues to be in the forecast this week, but the National Weather Service in Cheyenne says the best chance for the white stuff looks to be Wednesday afternoon into the evening hours.

Strong winds will impact much of southeast Wyoming today before a cold front moves through Wednesday, bringing widespread snow to the area.

According to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, more than a dozen sites recorded wind gusts in excess of 65 mph last night and this morning.

A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 5 p.m. Tuesday for the Sierra Madre and Snowy Ranges.

Strong winds are expected to return tonight, which means even if crews are able to get Interstate 80 back open this evening, it may be short-lived.

Southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle will see well-below-normal temperatures again today, the National Weather Service in Cheyenne says.

Lingering travel impacts could last as long as Thursday across many portions of the region and even Friday for portions of I-80 west of Laramie to Rawlins.

Cheyenne could see up to a foot of snow this evening through early Thursday morning, the National Weather Service in Cheyenne says.

Southeast Wyoming is expected to see much warmer temperatures by this afternoon, but, unfortunately, the wind won't be leaving with the cold.
