wind gusts

But the good news is that the next few days will feature milder weather in both Cheyenne and Laramie.

Wyoming is certainly no stranger to the wind. We typically know what we're dealing with every time we take a step outside or plan out anything about our day that may have to take the wind into consideration. But Monday was a little different for everyone it seemed.

Westerly wind gusts in excess of 65 mph are ongoing and expected to continue through the afternoon. Downsloping winds off the Laramie Range today will create hazardous fire weather conditions.

Those traveling between Cheyenne and Laramie early Wednesday will likely have to contend with blowing snow and 55 mph wind gusts near the Interstate 80 Summit.
