CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Cheyenne residents can expect mild weather with above-average temperatures through Friday, as dry conditions dominate southeast Wyoming. Today’s highs will range from the upper 40s to mid-50s east of the Laramie Range, while areas west will see highs in the mid-40s.
Light winds, predominantly out of the northwest to west, will accompany mostly sunny skies. Downsloping winds near the Laramie Range will help keep temperatures warmer in areas immediately east.
Thursday will bring similar conditions, with highs remaining in the upper 40s to mid-50s east of the Laramie Range and low to upper 40s to the west. Winds will pick up near the Laramie Range, particularly in wind-prone areas such as Bordeaux and parts of central Laramie County. These gusts may contribute to slightly warmer temperatures east of the range.
A weak cold front will pass through Thursday night into Friday morning, though no precipitation is expected, and temperatures are forecast to remain relatively mild, with only a slight drop.
According to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, a significant Pacific storm system will arrive this weekend, bringing notable changes to the weather pattern. Saturday will likely remain mild, with highs in the 50s and low 60s east of Interstate 25 and the mid-40s to near 50 degrees west of I-25.
However, Sunday will mark the start of a colder, windier period as a cold front sweeps across the region. Winds could gust at over 60 mph in wind-prone areas Saturday night into Sunday, with temperatures falling sharply.
By early next week, daytime highs may struggle to reach freezing, and nighttime lows are expected to drop into the single digits and teens. While snowfall is uncertain due to variability in storm system models, the National Weather Service in Cheyenne indicated that higher elevations might see light snow accumulations.
Residents should prepare for the possibility of strong winds and significantly colder temperatures heading into Monday and Tuesday.
