travel impacts

The NWS says mountain travel may be hazardous due to slick roads and reduced visibility in falling snow.

Those traveling on Interstate 80 in southeast Wyoming today will want to plan on slippery road conditions, as moderate snow is expected.

Truckers traveling through southeast Wyoming tomorrow morning may want to avoid the interstates and opt for truck stops.

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.

Heavy mountain snow combined with wind gusts as high as 60 mph could make travel "very difficult" in southeast Wyoming Friday and Saturday, the National Weather Service in Cheyenne says.

Snow continues to be in the forecast this week, but the National Weather Service in Cheyenne says the best chance for the white stuff looks to be Wednesday afternoon into the evening hours.

Strong winds will impact much of southeast Wyoming today before a cold front moves through Wednesday, bringing widespread snow to the area.

A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 5 p.m. Tuesday for the Sierra Madre and Snowy Ranges.

Strong winds are expected to return tonight, which means even if crews are able to get Interstate 80 back open this evening, it may be short-lived.

Lingering travel impacts could last as long as Thursday across many portions of the region and even Friday for portions of I-80 west of Laramie to Rawlins.
