Snow, wind, and bitterly cold temperatures are headed our way.

The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service has southeast Wyoming under a High Wind Warning until this evening, with winds of up to 80 miles per hour possible.

3-5 inches of snow is expected at lower elevations under that advisory, with up to a foot of snow possible at higher elevations.

Total snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches are expected with heavier accumulations likely above 9,000 feet in the Snowy and Sierra Madre Mountains.

A change later in the week could bring a blast of winter weather and possibly some heavy snow at higher elevations.

Snow accumulations are possible, especially at higher elevations.

"Low Humidities, Unseasonably Warm Temperatures, And Strong Gusty winds will Create Erratic Fire Behavior" says the National Weather Service.

Some very high elevations in southeast Wyoming could see snow, according to meteorologist Don Day Jr.

Winds from the west will reach 10 mph to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.

There's something about an autumn sky that never ceases to amaze us. And now, the sky just might be adorned with the planet Jupiter and its four moons!
