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. In these conditions, hikers and snowmobilers may easily become disoriented and lost due to the very poor visibility.

Cheyenne Radio Studios Get Makeover

There are 5 radios stations located in downtown Cheyenne Wyoming. All are owned by Townsquare Meadia.

Technology has changed, and the offices needed a facelift, too.

Lets take a look as the old studios and offices are gutted and the new is built.

My name is Glenn Woods.

News Talk KGAB AM650 is one of the stations in Wyoming that carries my show, Wake Up Wyoming.

I was in town for an event and had to broadcast from the KGAB studios one Friday morning.

Here is what it looked like.
