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.

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.
