Widespread snowfall of 6 to 10 inches is expected from Rawlins to Chadron tonight through Friday morning.

Up to 10 inches of snow and wind gusts as high as 50 mph are expected in the Sierra Madre and Snowy ranges Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne.

Travel could be very difficult along Interstate 80 west of Cheyenne this evening into early Wednesday morning, where up to half a foot of snow could fall.

Portions of central and southeast Wyoming, including Interstate 25, could see heavy snow Tuesday, which could make travel difficult.

Up to a foot of mountain snow combined with winds gusting as high as 50 mph could make for dangerous travel along portions of I-80 in southeast Wyoming tonight.

The westbound lanes of I-80 between Cheyenne and Laramie remain closed, as crews work to reopen roughly 250 miles of highway between Laramie and Rock Springs.

With heavy spring snow expected to slam the surrounding mountains, a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the Laramie Valley.

Bitterly cold temperatures will return next Thursday and Friday, with afternoon highs in the teens and overnight lows 0 to 5 degrees.

A winter weather advisory remains in effect from midnight tonight to 9:00 PM Thursday.

Another spring snowstorm is expected to dump several inches of snow on southeast Wyoming tonight and tomorrow, which could push some already high running rivers out of their banks.
