Weather.gov > Cheyenne, WY > Wintry Weather to Impact Travel for the Thanksgiving Holiday

 

  • Freezing drizzle across portions of southeast Wyoming this evening.  Some light ice accumulations will be possible in areas where freezing drizzle occurs.  This will create very slippery conditions on area sidewalks & roadways.


  • Snow accumulations will be highest along and west of Interstate 25 in southeast Wyoming.

  • Northeast winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts of up to 35 mph would produce considerable blowing and drifting of the dry, powdery snow for northwestern Carbon County tonight & Thursday.
  • VERY cold temperatures will filter in from the north, with wind chills likely plummeting well below zero.

  • Thanksgiving travel around the region will be significantly impacted due to the combination of snow and blowing snow, along with slick roads due to the initial period of freezing rain this evening.
  • Where the heaviest snow does eventually fall, some roads may become impassable.
  • Flight delays will be possible.
  • Frostbite and hypothermia are possible due to VERY cold wind chills.
