Weather Story

Jan. 5th, 8:30pm - These mild temperatures will continue through mid-week before a cold front pushes through, bringing winter back to southeast Wyoming and western Nebraska. Snow chances start increasing west to east Wednesday afternoon and evening ahead of a cold front Wednesday night. Widespread snowfall chances (40-60%) are expected on Thursday. Snow accumulation looks low at this time, less than an inch in most areas. Breezy to windy conditions will continue.

9AM 1/6 - The numbers are in, and it will come as no surprise that December 2025 was the warmest December on record for most locations across our area. Temperatures varied from 9 to 13 degrees above average!

Season-to-date snow totals remain well below average across the entire area. Both Cheyenne and Scottbluff have received barely one quarter of their average snowfall so far this season. In the mountains, while the Sierra Madre and Snowy Ranges have made up some ground since record lows at the beginning of December, snowpack remains below average. Even lower snowpack (near record lows) is present in northern Colorado, which runs off into the North Platte and Laramie Rivers every spring. Snowpack in the Laramie range remains at record lows for early January.
