travel conditions

The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service is predicting a "two-wave weather event" for southeast Wyoming over the next few days.

As of right now, Cheyenne and Laramie are forecast to receive 4-6 inches of snow, but that forecast amount could change in the coming days.

Enjoy the nice weekend, because the weather will take a turn towards winter next week.

With slick conditions expected along area roadways, be sure to check road conditions prior to venturing out.

Dangerous travel conditions are possible for light-weight and high-profile vehicles, including camping and travel trailers.

There is the possibility for localized heavier snowfall bands to set up so stay tuned for updates.

These squalls could produce localized pockets of 2+ inches of snow in a short time, so be prepared for sudden changes in weather and road conditions.

The sheriff's office says its ability to respond is still being hampered by the after-effects of this past weekend's storm.

Power outages, extremely poor travel conditions, and sub-zero wind chills are expected.

Winds of up to 45 miles per hour, whiteouts, and power outages are all possible with this storm.
