CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Cheyenne residents are currently enjoying a spell of warm weather, a nice change after the weekend storm. The National Weather Service in Cheyenne forecasts sunny skies and elevated temperatures continuing into Tuesday, with some areas potentially seeing record warmth for early February.
Early Monday, areas of dense freezing fog were reported, particularly in the southern Nebraska Panhandle, but these are expected to dissipate swiftly. The forecast promises mostly clear skies and temperatures several degrees above average, courtesy of west to southwest winds aiding in a mild weather pattern across southeast Wyoming and western Nebraska.
Key Messages for Cheyenne Residents:
- Enjoy the warm and dry conditions through Tuesday, but prepare for a midweek shift.
- Elevated winds are expected early Monday and again on Thursday, potentially affecting wind-prone areas.
- The upcoming storm system Wednesday into Thursday could bring significant snowfall to the mountains, with uncertain impacts on the valleys.
By midweek, southern Wyoming is set for a change. Breezy conditions are anticipated, especially near Arlington and Elk Mountain, with gusts reaching up to 45 mph. However, the focus shifts toward Wednesday and Thursday as another storm system approaches, likely bringing rounds of moderate to heavy snow to the Sierra Madre and Snowy mountains. Valley areas remain less certain to receive snowfall.
