Winter Weather Advisory

Several inches of snow are expected to fall around southeast Wyoming tonight and Wednesday, which could make for a hazardous morning commute.

Up to a foot of mountain snow combined with winds gusting as high as 50 mph could make for dangerous travel along portions of I-80 in southeast Wyoming tonight.

Several inches of snow are possible in southeast Wyoming. Plan on the possibility of slippery road conditions, especially Friday evening.

Those traveling between Cheyenne and Laramie early Wednesday will likely have to contend with blowing snow and 55 mph wind gusts near the Interstate 80 Summit.

The westbound lanes of I-80 between Cheyenne and Laramie remain closed, as crews work to reopen roughly 250 miles of highway between Laramie and Rock Springs.

Also included in the advisory area were Evanston, Kemmerer, Laramie, Rock Springs, Riverton, Thermopolis, Buffalo and Douglas.

This activity may produce several inches of snow through mid-morning, resulting in icy/snow covered roads and very low visibilities, according to the National Weather Service.

Heavy snow is expected in some areas as well as single-digit wind chills.

Bitterly cold temperatures will return next Thursday and Friday, with afternoon highs in the teens and overnight lows 0 to 5 degrees.
