SE Wyoming Mountains Face Possibly Heavy Snow, Wind, Blowing Snow
A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the Sierra Madre and Snowy Range mountains of southeast Wyoming. That's according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service.
The winter weather is expected in two waves.
The agency posted this statement and graphic on it's website:
A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for the Snowy and Sierra Madre Ranges to 11 PM tonight. Snowfall accumulations of 4 to 8 inches are expected, as well as blowing snow with wind gusts up to 45 MPH. After a lull through most of the day Saturday, another Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 8 PM Saturday to 5 PM Sunday for an additional 5 to 10 inches of snowfall with blowing snow and winds gusting up to 60 mph.
