Cheyenne, WY – Residents across Wyoming can expect a shift in weather patterns today as deep moisture from the Southwest moves into the region, bringing increased cloud cover and chances of scattered showers this afternoon and evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, a powerful low-pressure system off the West Coast and a ridge of high pressure over Texas are combining to draw moisture northward. This setup is already visible on satellite imagery, showing cloud buildups extending from the Southwest into Wyoming.
Forecasters say the moisture influx could result in light to moderate showers through the evening, though severe weather is not anticipated. Temperatures will remain mild, but conditions could turn breezy at times with the approaching system.
Drivers and outdoor workers should prepare for changing conditions and possible reduced visibility during scattered rainfall. The unsettled pattern may continue into midweek before drier weather returns later in the week.
This system marks the beginning of a more active weather period for the central Rockies as fall moisture surges northward.
