Cheyenne, WY — A dense fog advisory remains in effect for Cheyenne this morning, with visibility reduced to just a quarter of a mile in parts of Laramie County. This low visibility, combined with light snow, poses significant travel challenges along I-80 and nearby roadways. Motorists are advised to drive cautiously and allow extra time to reach their destinations.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Cheyenne, this weather pattern is accompanied by winter storm warnings in the nearby mountain ranges, including the Snowy, Sierra Madre, and North Laramie Range. Accumulations in higher elevations are expected to reach up to a foot, with lower elevations likely seeing around 3 to 6 inches of snow. The advisory, in effect until noon today, warns of ongoing fog and snow that may reduce visibility between Cheyenne and Rawlins intermittently.
Following today’s advisory, the forecast suggests a mix of conditions through the weekend. Wednesday will see a high of 36°F with light snow and dense fog, while temperatures are expected to drop to around 23°F overnight. By Thursday, skies will clear with highs reaching 49°F, providing a brief respite from the precipitation.
Looking ahead, Friday and Saturday bring mostly sunny conditions with highs of 56°F and 57°F, respectively, offering relief for outdoor activities. However, residents are reminded that early winter weather can change rapidly. Motorists should monitor local forecasts and be prepared for shifting road conditions.
