National Weather Service: Cheyenne, Laramie Could See Snow This Weekend

The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service says Cheyenne and Laramie could see their first real snow of the fall/winter season this weekend and early next week, although it doesn't look like we can expect heavy snowfall just yet.

If that happens it will actually be a little later than usual

We referred back to an article we did a couple of years ago in regard to Cheyenne. Here is what we found: October 7 is the average first snowfall in Wyoming's Capital City.

That's according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service.

Keep in  mind that we are talking about averages here. It's not unusual for Cheyenne to receive it's first snow by late September. And some years it may not happen until Novermber. But that late date is somewhat unusual. 89 percent of the time, Cheyenne has seen it's first fall snow before the end of October. And fairly severe winter storms in October are far from unusual.

So how about Laramie? We put that question to Cheyenne meteorologist Don Day Jr, founder and president of Dayweather Inc. in Cheyenne for the 2024 article.

Here was his response: ''Laramie can get snow as early as September, but most years by the 2nd week of October.''
