A Foot Of Snow, 45 MPH Winds Possible In SE Wyoming Mountains

The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Sierra Madre and Snowy Range Mountains starting at 11 a.m. today [Nov. 9].

The agency posted this statement on its website:

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect Wednesday through Thursday for the Sierra Madre Range and The Snowy Range in southeast Wyoming. Total snow accumulations of 6 to 12 inches are possible, with high winds up to 45 mph. High winds will likely cause reductions in visibility at times due to blowing snow. 

The agency is also calling for colder weather and some snow across southeast Wyoming:

''Three day forecast for southeast Wyoming and Nebraska Panhandle, calls for snow beginning west Wednesday as a cold front moves into the area. As the front moves east Wednesday night, snow will be common across the area. We're not looking at a lot of snow, but the timing of the snow overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning could create some travel impacts to many areas. Very cold Thursday with highs struggling to get into the upper 20s. Overnight lows Wednesday night in the low teens, with Friday morning lows in the low single digits.''
