Hazardous travel is likely due to strong winds and blowing snow, especially near the I-80 Summit and the Arlington/Elk Mountain area.

Up to four feet of snow is possible in the Sierra Madre and Snowy Range mountains.

A winter storm watch has been posted for Cheyenne starting on Thursday afternoon.

Closures of Interstates 80 and 25 to light-high profile vehicles are expected.

The snow will increase across much of the area Monday before tapering off from north to south Monday night.

The watch area includes Cheyenne and Laramie.

The warning area includes the I-80 summit as well as parts of Interstate 25.

Chilly temperatures are set to return to southeast Wyoming Friday, as an arctic boundary moves into the area.
