Cheyenne, WY – A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the Sierra Madre and Snowy Ranges from midnight tonight through noon Monday, as snow and high winds are expected to create hazardous travel conditions, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Cheyenne.
Forecasters expect 6 to 8 inches of snowfall across the higher elevations, accompanied by gusty winds up to 50 mph. The combination will likely lead to blowing snow, slick roads, and reduced visibility, particularly along Wyoming Highway 130 near Centennial and Albany.
The NWS cautions that Monday morning commuters could face delays as snow and ice accumulate overnight. “Plan on slippery road conditions,” officials warned early Sunday, urging drivers to slow down and use extra caution on mountain passes and rural roads.
The system is expected to taper off by midday Monday, though lingering flurries and gusty winds could persist through the afternoon. Drivers can check up-to-date road conditions by dialing 511 or visiting wyoroad.info.
