CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Cheyenne faces another potential high-wind event today, with strong winds expected in surrounding areas like Arlington, Bordeaux and the Interstate 80 Summit.
The National Weather Service in Cheyenne has issued a high wind watch for these areas, predicting west winds of 30–40 mph and gusts possibly exceeding 50 mph.
Despite the wind, today’s temperatures will feel mild, climbing into the upper 40s to upper 50s, thanks to downslope winds and a developing surface lee trough. Winds will ease overnight as ridging aloft settles over the region, with dry conditions and a low around 31 expected in Cheyenne.
The weekend will continue to bring mild and dry weather, with temperatures ranging from the upper 40s to lower 60s by Saturday. Sunday could bring another high-wind event, especially in wind-prone locations. Looking to Christmas Day, cooler temperatures and snow are possible for mountain areas and nearby lower elevations.
