Major Travel Impacts, Blowing Snow Possible In Southeast Wyoming

The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service says southeast Wyoming is "right smack dab in the middle of a storm track" and can expect an active weather pattern through Thursday.

That could include blowing snow and poor visibility in impacting travel conditions in some areas on Wednesday.

The agency posted this statement and graphic on its website on Monday::

Active weather in the forecast for southeast Wyoming and Nebraska Panhandle as we are right smack dab in the middle of the storm track. Upper longwave trough of low pressure over the Rockies will steer low pressure systems across us. Prolonged mountain snow likely through Thursday. A low pressure system moves through us on Wednesday for a combination of strong winds and snow. Travel impacts could be pretty major Wednesday with blowing snow and poor visibility. Stay tuned!
