Cheyenne is under a Winter Storm Warning, while Laramie is facing a Winter Weather Advisory.

The agency posted tis update on Tuesday afternoon [Jan.17]:

3PM 1/17 – Another round of snow will be coming in tonight! Here's a look at the most likely snow totals across our area. Snow will begin this evening with the heaviest snow falling overnight through Wednesday morning. Falling snow will wind down Wednesday afternoon, but wind gusts of 20-30mph may lead to some patchy blowing/drifting snow impacts lingering. The highest confidence is significant totals is in the southern Nebraska panhandle and far SE Wyoming. Greater uncertainty exists on the edge of this, mainly along I-25 and for areas north of the North Platte River valley where subtle shifts in the storm track could lead to a different snowfall outcome. Expect hazardous conditions across the area particularly Wednesday morning with low visibility and slick/snowy surfaces likely. Allow for extra time and use extra caution if travelling tonight through Wednesday!
