The agency posted this statement on its website this morning:
High Wind Warnings are in effect starting late this afternoon for Interstate 80 near Arlington and Elk Mountain as wind gusts to 65 MPH will be possible through Wednesday afternoon. Also, High Wind Warnings are in effect for the Interstate 80 Summit between Cheyenne and Laramie starting at 11 PM Tuesday.
