Another blast of wintry weather is expected to hit southeast Wyoming early next week.

Hazardous travel is likely due to strong winds and blowing snow, especially near the I-80 Summit and the Arlington/Elk Mountain area.

Up to four feet of snow is possible in the Sierra Madre and Snowy Range mountains.

A winter storm watch has been posted for Cheyenne starting on Thursday afternoon.

Closures of Interstates 80 and 25 to light-high profile vehicles are expected.

The warning area includes the I-80 summit as well as parts of Interstate 25.

Strong winds are also expected this weekend.

The winds should taper off this afternoon, but are expected to return on Wednesday.

Six to ten inches of snow is forecast for the Snowy Range and Sierra Madre mountains.

The warning area includes most of southeast Wyoming, including Laramie County and most of Albany County.

The warnings include high blow-over risk.
