CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Cheyenne residents can expect a mild Saturday before high winds and much colder temperatures dominate the coming days. Afternoon highs will reach the 50s to low 60s, but wind gusts could already approach 55–60 mph by late Saturday night.
A high wind warning is in effect for parts of southeast Wyoming, including central Laramie County, from Saturday evening through Sunday night. The National Weather Service in Cheyenne predicts west winds at 60–75 mph in some areas, with gusts exceeding 80 mph near Bordeaux on Sunday morning. These conditions will pose challenges along Interstate 25 and other wind-prone corridors.
A strong cold front will sweep into the region Sunday night, bringing gusty winds, scattered snow showers and much colder air. Monday’s high temperatures will only reach the mid-20s to 30s, and windchills are expected in the single digits and teens. Snow flurries may persist into Tuesday, with limited accumulation outside higher elevations.
Cheyenne will face strong winds throughout the week, with Wednesday likely being the windiest day. Wind-prone areas such as Arlington, Bordeaux and the I-25 corridor will see sustained high winds as a powerful upper-level system moves through. Drivers and residents are urged to prepare for hazardous conditions and stay updated on weather developments.
