CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Travelers heading out for Thanksgiving in Cheyenne and the surrounding areas may face slick roads this morning as lingering snow showers continue. According to the National Weather Service, light to moderate snow has been reported along Interstate 80 near the Summit and in parts of Laramie County. Snowfall is expected to diminish by this afternoon.
Accumulating snow of 1 to 2 inches could create hazardous driving conditions early Thursday, especially in the Laramie Valley and other wind-prone areas. While road crews are working to clear routes, drivers should remain cautious and allow extra time for travel.
The combination of cold temperatures, dipping into the teens overnight, and snow-covered roads will keep conditions slick into the morning. The Wyoming Department of Transportation recommends checking road conditions before departing.
