The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for parts of southeastern Wyoming, in effect until 6:00 PM Friday (April 16). This includes the city of Cheyenne and the Interstates 80 and 25 corridors.

Heavy snow is expected to fall through the evening Thursday and overnight into Friday. Four to six inches of accumulation are possible for the Cheyenne area. Higher amounts may fall in places. "Dangerous travel conditions due to icy, snow-packed roads and low visibilities in falling snow. The worst road impacts will occur at night and in the early morning hours," the Weather Service said.
