The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service says wind gusts of over 75 miles per hour are likely in southeast Wyoming this weekend.

Wind speeds could approach 80 miles per hour in Cheyenne and top out at 90 miles per hour on the I-80 summit and other wind-prone areas.

74 mile-per-hour winds are considered hurricane-force winds according to the National Weather Service.
