Cheyenne, Wyoming – Drivers in Cheyenne and surrounding areas could encounter dangerously low visibility early this morning as a Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 9 a.m.

According to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, dense fog has settled across central Laramie County, the South Laramie Range foothills, and eastern Platte County, including the cities of Cheyenne and Wheatland. Visibility could fall to one-quarter mile or less, creating hazardous travel conditions through mid-morning.

Motorists are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra distance between vehicles. Key highways, including Interstate 25 near Cheyenne and Wheatland, could experience significant visibility reductions, making commutes particularly risky. Schools and businesses in affected areas are advised to monitor conditions closely for potential delays.

This morning’s fog is typical for late April but remains dangerous due to rapid visibility changes. If possible, residents should delay travel until after the advisory expires.

Additional advisories could be issued if conditions persist beyond 9 a.m. Updates are available through the National Weather Service Cheyenne office and local alerts.
