CHEYENNE, Wyo. — High wind warnings for areas including Bordeaux and the Interstate 80 Summit are set to expire at 8 a.m. Monday. Meanwhile, strong winds will persist for Arlington and Elk Mountain through 5 p.m., according to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne.
Winds are expected to diminish in parts of southeast Wyoming as a weather system moves east. However, wind-prone areas like Arlington may experience renewed gusts later tonight due to tightening pressure gradients. The forecast also highlights more high winds for southeast Wyoming from Tuesday through Thursday.
Mountain snowfall is possible late Monday night into Tuesday, with the Snowy and Sierra Madre ranges expected to receive minor accumulation. A quick-moving weather disturbance will bring conditions favorable for upslope snowfall, but significant totals are unlikely.
Looking ahead, another Pacific weather system will bring strong gusty winds on Thursday, with gusts over 55 mph possible in wind-prone areas. Temperatures will trend higher into the weekend, with afternoon highs 10–15 degrees above average.
