Cheyenne, WY – Residents along the Nebraska–Wyoming border should prepare for potentially severe weather this afternoon as thunderstorms develop and intensify across the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, the most active period is expected between 2 PM and 7 PM Saturday, October 4, 2025, with storms capable of producing wind gusts over 60 miles per hour, moderate to heavy rain, and small hail.
Communities most at risk include Cheyenne, Torrington, Laramie, Rawlins, Scottsbluff, Kimball, and Sidney. Drivers traveling along Interstate 80 and surrounding highways should use caution as heavy rainfall could cause brief flooding and reduced visibility.
Forecasters say most of the rain will taper off later in the evening as a cold front moves through, bringing cooler and drier air behind it.
Residents are encouraged to monitor NWS alerts and local weather stations throughout the day for updated radar tracking and safety guidance.
