High Wind Warning, Winter Weather Advisory For SE Wyoming

The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service has issued High Wind Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories for southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle this weekend.

That's according to a post on the agency's website:

A High Wind Warning has been issued through Saturday afternoon, for the wind prone areas of southeast Wyoming, including Arlington/Elk Mountain, Bordeaux, the South Laramie Range and Foothills. The newest update now includes Central Laramie County. Wind gusts up to 65 MPH are possible in areas of the High Wind Warning. Use caution if traveling with lightweight or high profile vehicles. Snow showers will accumulate across portions of the I-25 corridor into the Nebraska Panhandle, which has resulted in a Winter Weather Advisory. The highest accumulations are expected in the Nebraska Panhandle where 3-7 inches are anticipated through Sunday morning.
