travel impacts

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.

Eastbound Interstate 80 is now closed from Laramie to the Nebraska state line, the Wyoming Department of Transportation says.

Winter conditions are causing travel impacts across southeast Wyoming this morning.

Southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle will have to deal with a host of winter weather this week.

Strong winds are expected to continue to blast much of southeast Wyoming today and tomorrow before another round of snow moves in.

The National Weather Service in Cheyenne says it will be very cold Thursday, with highs struggling to get into the upper 20s.

Another round of rain and snow is expected to arrive in southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle this evening, according to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne.

Another round of strong wind is expected to blast southeast Wyoming Thursday evening through Friday afternoon.

Travel could be very difficult along Interstate 80 west of Cheyenne this evening into early Wednesday morning, where up to half a foot of snow could fall.
