Weather

Snow-packed and icy roads and poor visibility can be expected across most of the region.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for much of the area, which includes Cheyenne. This replaces the Blizzard Warning.

Travel impacts are likely due to blowing snow, slick roads, and reduced visibility in the areas receiving moderate to heavy snow.

Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 8 to 15 inches possible. Winds could gust as high as 50 mph.

The agency warns that ''these strong crosswinds could result in loss of control of vehicles pulling lighter loads, including camping trailers.''

Saturday's temperatures were a far cry from the usual, with several locations in southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle setting record highs.

It looks like fairly typical March weather is in the forecast this week.

Another high wind advisory has been issued in Albany County from March 3-March 4.

US 287 is closed between Rawlins and Lamont, with the same estimated reopening time.

Cheyenne and Laramie are currently not under any advisories or warnings, but that could change.
