Strong winds continue to wreak havoc across southeast Wyoming.

According to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, more than a dozen sites recorded wind gusts in excess of 65 mph last night and this morning.

The highest wind gust, an 84 mph one, was recorded 1.4 miles south of Bordeaux along Interstate 25 around 1:30 this morning.

"Gusts around 55 MPH will remain possible near Bordeaux/Chugwater through the early afternoon hours," the NWS said in a Facebook post. "West of I-25, it will remain breezy to windy with snow showers possible in Carbon County."

As of 3:41 p.m., I-25 was open to all traffic, but Interstate 80 between Rock Springs and Rawlins and westbound I-80 between Rawlins and Laramie were closed due to winter conditions.

"Winds have picked up and dropped visibility to zero between Rawlins and Creston Junction," WYDOT District 1 said in a Facebook post.

Unfortunately, the wind won't be leaving anytime soon.

A High Wind Watch is in effect from Tuesday morning through Tuesday afternoon, which includes Bordeaux and much of I-80 between Rawlins and Laramie.
