windy

There's no doubt the Wyoming wind plays a major role in handling of a Wyoming winter.

WY Highway 258 (otherwise known as Wyoming Boulevard...otherwise known as Outer Drive) is closed to "light, high profile vehicles."

Strong winds and snow will be the main story across southeast Wyoming over the next week, according to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne.

Wind gusts up to 60 mph are expected to blast portions of interstates 25 and 80 in southeast Wyoming late tonight through Friday afternoon.

Portions of southeast Wyoming could see light to moderate snow Friday, according to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne.

Wind gusts in excess of 65 mph are expected to blast a large portion of southeast Wyoming late tonight through late Monday.

If you think it's been windier than normal in southeast Wyoming the past few months, you'd be right.

Hot, dry, windy weather will make for critical fire conditions over parts of southeast Wyoming the next couple of days.

Cold conditions will give way to warmer temperatures and wind.

Dry and windy, not good for burning.
