CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Cheyenne will see cooler temperatures today as a cold front moves through the area, with highs ranging from the upper 60s to low 80s. Skies will remain partly to mostly cloudy throughout the morning, but clearing is expected by the afternoon. There’s a slight chance of lingering showers before the atmosphere fully dries out behind an upper-level shortwave trough.
The National Weather Service in Cheyenne is forecasting that temperatures today will range from the mid-40s to low 80s, depending on location, with the coolest spots west of Interstate 25. Winds will be calm, though some fog may develop in valley areas during the early morning hours.
Conditions will warm up starting Friday as an upper-level ridge builds into the region.
