Cheyenne, WY — Windy weather across southeast Wyoming will gradually ease heading into the weekend, but forecasters warn that another round of strong winds is expected in the typical wind-prone corridors Friday night into Saturday morning. The National Weather Service in Cheyenne says an arctic cold front will slip south into the High Plains, sending temperatures sharply lower Friday and Saturday.
The coldest air is expected to remain northeast of a Douglas, Wyoming–to–Alliance, Nebraska line, though chilly conditions will extend across the region. High temperatures Friday will range from the mid-20s to lower 40s, depending on location and elevation.
Forecasters note that the best chance for light snow accumulation will occur near the Pine Ridge Friday and Friday night, where totals will stay under two inches. Elsewhere, snow is expected to be minimal with limited impacts.
Saturday will be mostly cloudy early before skies clear later in the day. Lighter winds are expected for a time, with afternoon highs ranging from the upper teens and 20s in the east to around 40 degrees west of I-25.
By Sunday, the pattern shifts quickly. Sunshine returns with noticeably warmer temperatures—highs climbing into the mid-50s to lower 60s. Morning lows will still be cold, ranging from 10–25 degrees across eastern Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle.
Despite the brief warmup Sunday, officials remind residents of southeast Wyoming to prepare for wind impacts, particularly late Friday into early Saturday when gusts may once again reach hazardous levels in wind-prone zones.
