Important weather alert: Cheyenne under High Wind Watch starting tonight with gusts up to 60 MPH, affecting travel safety and visibility. Stay informed and stay safe.
The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service is warning southeast Wyoming residents to brace for strong winds and elevated fire danger over the next few days.
The agency says winds of up to 65 miles per hour are possible over the next few days, including on the summit between Cheyenne and Laramie:
Greetings...
Truckers deadheading through southeast Wyoming tomorrow and Wednesday may have to pull aside to save their rides, as 65 mph wind gusts are expected to blast the area.
Snow combined with winds gusting as high as 60 mph will make travel very difficult to impossible across parts of southeast Wyoming tonight, the National Weather Service in Cheyenne says.
