WARNING: Central Wyoming Travel Hazards Thursday – Friday

FINALLY, the center of Wyoming is getting the snow it really needs.

That's the good news.

The bad news is - TRAVEL IMPACTS.

The WYDOT video below explains where they expect the biggest snow impacts and how long it is expected to last.

Some areas, like South Pass, can expect heavy snow and blowing snow.

Almost everywhere in Wyoming will get some snow.

You can see, above that red splash of color across a yellow background

The yellow represents lighter snow impacts.

Those with livestock in the read areas, well, you know the drill.

The red shows the areas that are expected to be hardest hit.

Expect snow to fall starting early to midday Thursday with another round on Friday.

Interstate 25 from Buffalo to Douglas will see heavy snow beginning at about 8 am on Thursday and continuing until midday on Friday.

Interstate 25 from Douglas to Wheatland will get the same treatment, but starting later on Thursday and lasting until later on Friday.

Watch for the closures of secondary roads in that red air due to the amount of snow and poor visibility.

Snowfall will vary from 5 to 9 inches with a few areas getting up to a foot. It all depends on where you are and how this system decides to cover us.

We will warm up as we move into the weekend, giving us plenty of time to either dig out or just let it melt.

This is the wetness that the center of the state needs.

More might be on the way in the coming weeks.
