travel impacts

Strong winds are expected to return tonight, which means even if crews are able to get Interstate 80 back open this evening, it may be short-lived.

Lingering travel impacts could last as long as Thursday across many portions of the region and even Friday for portions of I-80 west of Laramie to Rawlins.

Strong winds are expected to continue to blast much of southeast Wyoming today and tomorrow before another round of snow moves in.

The National Weather Service in Cheyenne says it will be very cold Thursday, with highs struggling to get into the upper 20s.

Another round of rain and snow is expected to arrive in southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle this evening, according to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne.

Another round of strong wind is expected to blast southeast Wyoming Thursday evening through Friday afternoon.

Travel could be very difficult along Interstate 80 west of Cheyenne this evening into early Wednesday morning, where up to half a foot of snow could fall.

Higher elevations of southeast Wyoming could see "significant snow" early next week, as the season's first major winter storm moves across the region.

Blowing snow could be a major issue on Interstate 80 between Cheyenne and Laramie tomorrow, according to the Wyoming Department of Transportation.

Another round of strong and gusty winds is expected to blast southeast Wyoming late Thursday through Friday night.
