CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Southeast Wyoming will see breezy conditions and light snow today, while high wind warnings remain in effect for wind-prone areas near Arlington and the Interstate 80 Summit. West-northwest winds could gust at up to 60 mph in these areas, posing a hazard to lightweight or high-profile vehicles, such as campers and tractor-trailers.
A 30% chance of morning snow showers will give way to mostly sunny skies in Cheyenne, with a high near 41 degrees. Winds will increase in the afternoon to 20–25 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph, according to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne. Tonight, skies will be partly cloudy, with a low around 23 and west-southwest winds at 10–15 mph.
Mountain snowfall will continue today, with the Snowy Range accumulating an additional 6–10 inches, bringing totals to between 10 and 18 inches. The Sierra Madre Range is expected to receive similar additional amounts, though totals may be slightly less than previously forecast. Blowing snow remains a concern in these areas due to strong winds.
Looking ahead, a Pacific storm system will bring widespread snow and colder temperatures late Saturday into Sunday, with freezing drizzle possible in parts of western Nebraska and far-southeastern Wyoming. High winds will persist through Friday night, with quieter conditions expected during the day Friday before the weekend storm impacts the region.
