Severe Weather Possible In SE Wyoming This Weekend, Then Snow
The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service is predicting a "roller coaster" of weather over the next few days, including possibly severe weather this weekend.
The agency posted the following on it's Facebook page;
A roller coaster weather pattern will take shape Friday through Tuesday, with Friday seeing critical fire danger with very warm temperatures and widespread snowfall returning Monday. Saturday and Sunday both have the threat for severe weather, with a Slight Risk (Level 2 of 5) for severe weather in place both days. A very strong cold front moves through Sunday into Monday, with rain changing to rain/snow then widespread snow throughout the morning hours. Snow and rain come to an end Tuesday, then a slow warming trend starts. Buckle up!
So what about the possibly severe weather this weekend?
The threat for a few severe thunderstorms exists this weekend east of the I-25 corridor into Western Nebraska. Large hail and damaging winds appear to be the primary hazards.

There’s a strange mind at work in Medicine Bow. Someone equal parts disturbed and delighted, scheming and laughing at the same time. And somehow, they want to pull you into the fun.
