CHEYENNE, Wyo. — High winds are expected to weaken Saturday morning, but breezy to windy conditions and scattered snow showers will persist through the day. A high wind warning remains in effect for Cheyenne until 11 a.m., with northwest winds between 25 and 35 mph and gusts of up to 60 mph buffeting the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, strong crosswinds will be hazardous to lightweight or high-profile vehicles, including campers and tractor trailers.
Snowfall is expected to taper off during the morning hours but will likely return as scattered, locally heavy snow showers later in the day. Multiple rounds of scattered snow showers will be possible through the evening, especially in the higher terrain.
