Cheyenne, WY – Widespread showers and thunderstorms are set to impact much of Wyoming this weekend, with the strongest weather expected Saturday afternoon into the evening, according to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne.
Forecasters say a storm system moving through the region will bring scattered embedded thunderstorms beginning Saturday afternoon, continuing through the evening hours. Some storms may produce heavy rainfall, hail, and strong winds, particularly in southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle.
According to the National Weather Service, thunder will diminish overnight, but showers are likely to continue into Sunday morning as gusty northwest winds develop behind the system. Rain chances across Cheyenne, Laramie, Douglas, and surrounding communities remain elevated into Sunday, with probabilities ranging between 45% and 75% in the morning.
Travelers and outdoor enthusiasts should also prepare for changing conditions in the higher elevations. The NWS noted that snow could fall in the Medicine Bow Peak area early Sunday morning, especially above 10,000 feet.
Residents are advised to monitor forecasts and use caution if traveling, as rainfall and gusty winds may reduce visibility and create slick conditions on roads.
