National Weather Service

The agency says ''Need to watch Wednesday and Thursday as we could see widespread moderate to heavy snow that could impact travel."

A Winter Weather Advisory for freezing fog and drizzle posted has been for southeast Wyoming, including Cheyenne and the summit on Interstate 80 between Cheyenne and Laramie.

With spring just a few weeks away, it's anybody's guess what the weather will do headed into the weekend.

Schools will be closed for inclement weather or natural disasters only when the community itself is unable to operate safely.

Lows in the double-digit below zero range, 6 plus inches of snow and wind chills of -25 or colder are expected.

Wind gusts up to 70 MPH, accumulating snow, and blowing snow will create blizzard conditions and extremely poor visibility.

We will begin to see a prolonged period of moderate to heavy snowfall for the Snowy and Sierra Madres Ranges where 1 to 2 feet of snow accumulation will be possible.

The rain that began Tuesday evening turned to snow early Wednesday with temperatures near freezing.

Do not hesitate to reach out for help.

The wind chill in Cheyenne has only dropped below -50 three times since 1947. But it's expected to hit -51 early Thursday and could well plunge below that mark.
