Winter Storm Watch

The snow, coupled with northeast and north winds between 20 mph and 40 mph, could create near white-out conditions.

Parts of extreme southeast Wyoming could see heavy snow this evening through Wednesday, and the Wyoming Department of Transportation is reminding drivers, "Don't Crowd the Plow!"

Meanwhile, a Winter Storm Watch has been posted for some areas of southeast Wyoming, including the summit on I-80 between Cheyenne and Laramie.

Wednesday's temperatures were a far cry from last week's deep freeze, with several locations in southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle either setting or tying record highs.

Heavy snow combined with gusty winds could make mountain travel extremely difficult or impossible in southeast Wyoming Tuesday morning through Wednesday evening.

Heavy mountain snow combined with gusty winds could make for blizzard conditions along portions of Interstate 80 in southeast Wyoming Thursday through early this weekend.

1 to 3 feet of snow are possible with much lesser amounts in the surrounding valleys. Strong gusty winds will also greatly reduce visibility due to blowing snow.

Over one foot of snow is possible in the mountains of the northern Laramie Range, with 4-9 inches possible for lower elevations inside the watch area.

Travel along Interstate 80 in Wyoming could be "very difficult to impossible" over the next few days.

The heaviest snow is expected Saturday night.
