Cheyenne, Wyo. – Thunderstorms will disrupt the start of the week across much of Wyoming, with drier, warmer conditions expected to return by midweek. Residents from Cheyenne to Rawlins may face periods of heavy rain and lightning Monday and Tuesday, creating travel delays and the potential for slick roadways.

Tuesday will remain unsettled, with cooler air keeping temperatures in the 50s and 60s. Drivers along I-25 and I-80 should plan for slower commutes and allow extra time, especially in areas prone to ponding or brief flooding.

Power outages are possible where storms are strongest, and officials advise charging devices and limiting outdoor activity during peak storm hours.
