The National Weather Service Cheyenne has issued a Winter Weather Advisory with expectations of 4 to 8 inches of snow accumulation and winds gusting up to 50 mph, potentially impacting travel and causing tree damage. Concurrently, High Wind Warnings are in effect with forecasted gusts up to 75-80 mph, posing hazards to transportation and increasing the risk of rapidly spreading wildfires. These conditions are expected to persist until late evening, and residents should secure loose items and travel with care.
