Cheyenne, Laramie Expecting Snow, Advisory Issued For Mountains
The Sierra Madre and Snowy Range mountains in southeast Wyoming are under a winter weather advisory starting at 9 am today, according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service.
While Cheyenne and Laramie aren't under the advisory, both communities are expecting snow, with over four inches possible in Laramie.
That's according to a post on the agency's website:
Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for the Snowy and Sierra Madre Mountain Ranges where 6 to 12 inches are possible Friday and Saturday morning. Primary concerns are the difficult mountain travel and dangerous outdoor recreation due to reduced visibilities from falling and blowing snow.
