Colorado–Western Nebraska – The National Weather Service in Cheyenne has upgraded all High Wind Watches to High Wind Warnings across western Nebraska and portions of eastern Colorado beginning Saturday evening through Sunday evening.
According to the NWS, sustained winds of 30 to 40 mph are expected with gusts potentially exceeding 65 mph, particularly in open areas and along ridges. Officials are urging caution for drivers operating campers, semis, and other high-profile vehicles, as crosswinds may become dangerous along major routes including I-80 and US-385.
The warning includes Arlington, Bordeaux, and Niobrara, Nebraska, where the strongest winds are forecast to develop overnight and persist into Sunday evening. Wind speeds could create visibility issues and cause unsecured outdoor items to blow around.
Travelers are encouraged to check road conditions before departure by calling 511 or visiting wyoroad.info or 511.nebraska.gov for updates.
