It's looking more and more like a blast of winter will hit southeast Wyoming on Thanksgiving Day, with cold weather continuing right into the weekend.

That's according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service. The agency posted the following on its website:


Widespread minor winter impacts becoming more likely (>70% chance) starting late Thanksgiving evening and especially through the day Friday. 20-30% of moderate winter impacts in select pockets as well. Winter weather impacts anticipated to increase Friday morning to the afternoon based on current projections. Stay tuned through the week if these areas expand or impact chances increase/decrease. Plan accordingly on Friday if planning any travel post Thanksgiving.

Parts of southeast Wyoming could get as much as 8 inches of snow:

A Winter Storm Watch is in effect from 11 AM Thursday to 11 PM Friday for the highlighted locations, including Bill, Douglas, Deer Creek, Glenrock, Lusk, Redbird, Bordeaux, Wheatland, Guernsey and Torrington. Heavy snow will be possible with total snowfall accumulations of 4 to 8 inches possible. The Winter Storm Watch may be expanded to other areas. Travel may be difficult at times.
