Cheyenne, WY – Southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle face critical fire weather conditions Sunday and Monday, followed by potential heavy snow midweek. Authorities are urging residents to avoid outdoor burning as breezy, dry conditions heighten fire risks.
According to the National Weather Service, a cold front will bring increasing winds on Sunday with temperatures ranging from 71-80 degrees east of I-25. Conditions shift dramatically on Monday night when widespread rain and snow move in, affecting areas like the Snowy and Sierra Madre Ranges. With the possibility of travel disruptions, locals should monitor conditions closely.
Heavy mountain snow is expected by Tuesday, with up to 12 inches forecast for higher elevations, and lower elevations could see up to 4 inches. Wednesday will bring continued snow and colder temperatures, with highs dipping into the 30s and 40s.
By Thursday, the storm clears, leading to warmer and breezy conditions, but residents are urged to remain cautious due to potential icy roads early in the morning. Trick-or-treaters should expect dry but cool weather as Halloween approaches.
