travel conditions

A winter storm warning remained in effect for parts of southeast Wyoming on Friday morning, with up to 10 inches of snow possible at higher elevations.

Travel impacts could be probable west from Cheyenne and west of the Laramie Range for the higher terrain. Please use caution during this time frame if planning on traveling.

A cooling trend is expected later in the week with rain and even some snow possible.

Some showers and thunderstorms will develop late in the afternoon into Wednesday night.

The warning includes Arlington, Laramie, Cheyenne, Wheatland, Lusk, Torrington, Harrison, Chadron and Alliance as well as the I-80 Summit between Laramie and Cheyenne.

As of Sunday afternoon, the communities of Cheyenne, Laramie, Saratoga, and Wheatland were all included in the watch area.

Total snow accumulations of 5 to 10 inches are expected, with local amounts up to 12+inches possible beneath heavier bands.

As much as 6 inches of snow is possible in some areas.

The wind will blow, but it won't be the hurricane-force gales of the last few days.

Strong, gusty winds and blowing snow will make travel difficult in many areas.

Winter storm warnings and watches as well as high wind warnings have been posted for much of the area.

Widespread rain and snow are expected this weekend. There may be several inches of snow accumulating over the higher terrain.
