CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Cheyenne will see mild temperatures Friday with a high reaching the 50s, about 5–10 degrees above average. A warm, southwesterly wind pattern will dominate, bringing breezy conditions with gusts of up to 30 mph east of the Laramie Range, according to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne.
A mostly dry cold front is set to pass through late Friday night into Saturday, leading to cooler temperatures and increasing wind speeds. Gusts could reach over 50 mph in some areas, especially in wind-prone locations. Despite the drop in temperatures, little precipitation is expected in the lower elevations. Snowfall will likely stay confined to higher terrains, with minor accumulation in the Sierra Madre and Snowy ranges.
Looking to next week, a strong cold front on Monday evening will bring significantly colder air and faster winds by Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures could fall as much as 15 degrees below average, and there is a chance of snow showers, though significant accumulation appears unlikely at this time.
