Cheyenne, Wyoming is in for a cooler and windy weekend ahead. On Friday, temperatures will be mild with a high in the 50s, which is about 5–10 degrees above the usual average. A warm, southwesterly wind pattern will be prevalent, bringing breezy conditions with gusts of up to 30 mph east of the Laramie Range, as reported by the National Weather Service in Cheyenne.
As we head into late Friday night and Saturday, a mostly dry cold front will move through the area, causing temperatures to drop and wind speeds to increase. Gusts could even exceed 50 mph in some wind-prone locations. While temperatures will decrease, there is not much precipitation expected in the lower elevations. Any snowfall will likely be limited to higher terrains, possibly resulting in minor accumulation in the Sierra Madre and Snowy ranges.
Looking ahead to the following week, a strong cold front is predicted to arrive on Monday evening, bringing even colder air and faster winds by Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures could plummet as much as 15 degrees below average, with a chance of snow showers. However, significant snow accumulation seems unlikely at this point.
