The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for much of southeastern Wyoming including Albany County and the city of Laramie. The Advisory is in effect from Monday afternoon through Tuesday (December 28-29). Two to three inches of snow is forecast for Laramie.

The I-80 Summit between Laramie and Cheyenne is in a Winter Storm Warning. Four to six inches of snow and strong southeast winds gusting to 40 mph at times are expected.

Snow is expected to pick up Monday afternoon and continue through the night into Tuesday. About an inch of accumulation is forecast for Laramie Monday afternoon, with a couple more inches Monday night.  Strong winds will be blowing that snow around.

Plan on slippery road conditions. Patchy blowing
snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous
conditions could impact the morning or evening commute.
