Cheyenne National Weather Service

We expect the Wyoming High Plains getting 3 to 6 inches combined with significant ice accretion potentially over ¼ inch.

This is a very strong weather system that has the potential to cause major impacts for early September in localized areas

An early winter storm has Wyoming in its sights and there's a possibility of four inches of snow in many areas Monday night into Tuesday

. Temperatures will be hot on Saturday! Any outdoor burning is strongly discouraged! Don't be the ignition source.

The heatwave is expected to slam to an abrupt end by the first part of next week, with low temperatures expected to dive into the freezing range by Monday and Tuesday nights.

The average temperature during the meteorological summer was the warmest ever recorded in Cheyenne and second-warmest ever in Scottsbluff.

The main hazards associated with these storms are strong wind gust, large hail, and flash flooding if a storm stalls or storms move over same area.

Very large hail up to golf ball size and downburst winds to 70 mph are possible with these severe thunderstorms.

Besides having the hottest August on record since 1873, Cheyenne also is on pace to at least tie a record for the most 90 degree days in a three month period.

Some much-needed precipitation can be expected in most areas towards mid-week.
