wyoming weather

The heaviest snow is expected to fall Saturday, according to the report.

More of the same is expected on Thursday.

The weather service says travel could be difficult, particularly for high-profile vehicles.

Wyoming hasn't had much snow this winter yet, but Mother Nature looked to make up for that on Tuesday.

Several communities throughout the Cowboy State saw record low temperatures for October 25 on Sunday as a winter storm moved across the region.

Fortunately, temperatures will get above freezing on Tuesday with a high near 37, but wind gusts could reach as high as 26 mph.

Interstate 80 is under a rolling closure from Rock Springs to just west of Cheyenne. The closure was issued at 9 a.m. and was expected to last 15 to 17 hours.

Saturday night could see rain and snow showers before 7 p.m., with rain turning to snow after then. It could get as cold as 4 degrees.

That's according to the National Weather Service in Riverton which is predicting a temperature drop that could see freezing weather in Casper this weekend.

Mills saw 9 inches while south Casper saw 11.

Winds hit 86 mph at roughly 4 a.m. Tuesday, according to the weather service website.

More than 2,000 are without power as of 5 p.m. Tuesday, according to Rocky Mountain Power.
