travel conditions

Both Cheyenne and Laramie are included in the area that could see severe storms.

50 - 60 mph wind gusts, quarter to golf ball sized hail and brief heavy rainfall will be possible in the strongest of storms.

Areas over 7500 feet may see over four inches of snow, along with cold temperatures and slick.

Winds could gust as high as 65 mph at times, and these strong crosswinds could result in loss of control of vehicles pulling lighter loads.

A few storms may even produce some small hail this afternoon.

Winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories remain in effect through 6 p.m. on Thursday.

Five to nine inches of snow is possible as the storm moves through the area Wednesday (April 15) and Thursday.

Mountain areas could get 16 inches of snow, a foot is possible on the summit, and 6-8 inches of snow is possible at lower elevations.

The agency says ''It will generally be cool and unsettled through the week as several areas of disturbed weather push through the area.''

The forecast is calling for ''increasing chances of showers, then a wintry mix, followed by widespread accumulating snow Sunday.''
