While Cheyenne and Laramie aren't expecting heavy snow with a winter storm that is expected to pass through the region, they are expected to see strong winds, blowing snow, and wind chills that could hit the sub-zero range.

And higher elevations in southeast Wyoming could get as much as 18 inches of snow.

That's according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service. The agency posted the following on its website:

Winter Storm Watches for the Snowy and Sierra Madre ranges have been upgraded to Winter Storm Warnings, in addition to a Winter Storm Watch has been issued for the Arlington area. Travel may become difficult with snow covered roads and blowing snow with strong winds could significantly reduce visibility at times. Check weather.gov/cys for the latest local forecast.
