CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Clouds are amassing in the big Wyoming skies above Cheyenne at this very moment. Today, despite reaching an agreeable high of 48 degrees, is the last Cheyenne will see of great weather for this time of year until Sunday.
Tonight introduces the second of the two small systems afflicting Cheyenne this week. While today will be relatively warm — albeit alongside 15–20 mph winds — temperatures tonight and tomorrow will drop a bit while chances of precipitation sharply increase.
Snow is likely to start falling just before midnight tonight, but tonight’s low will only be 27. According to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, new snow accumulation tonight will be less than half an inch.
Snow, and later rain and snow, will feature in Thursday’s weather nearly all day. Specifically, the NWS in Cheyenne predicts an 80% chance of precipitation tomorrow. Just like tonight, though, accumulation won’t measure up to even an inch.
The likelihood of snow will continue to increase into Thursday night as well, where it becomes a near-guarantee with a 90% chance. By then, Cheyenne residents could see up to an inch of accumulation the next morning.
Chances of snow will continue just into Friday, while the weekend will see temps climb back up. By Monday, Cheyenne will be visited by the elusive 60-degree temperatures.
