The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service says southeast Wyoming residents can expect heavy rain this week, possibly leading to some flash flooding.

The agency posted the following to it's website:

  Good news and bad news for folks in southeast Wyoming and Nebraska Panhandle, more rain is on the way! After today, rain chances really begin to ramp up, with widespread showers and thunderstorms returning Wednesday and continuing through the rest of the week. Areas that receive multiple rounds (or training) thunderstorms, there is a risk of experiencing flash flooding. A Marginal Risk for excessive rainfall has been highlighted for the southern Panhandle , west to Cheyenne and north to Scottsbluff Wednesday. This area will expand to cover most of southeast Wyoming Thursday, with widespread showers and thunderstorms. Never drive through flooded roadways. Turn around, don't drown. Stay tuned!

Unsettled weather expected each day this week across southeast Wyoming and Nebraska Panhandle. Low pressure currently off the coast of central California moves inland Wednesday afternoon. This low will create increasing coverage of showers and storms across the area each afternoon and evening. Need to be on the lookout for heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding later in the week. Stay tuned!
