In addition to the snow, very cold temperatures and blustery north winds will create areas of blowing snow and dangerous windchill temperatures through Thursday.

High Wind Warnings, Winter Storm Warnings, cold weather--they are in in the forecast.

Single digits and even some subzero readings are likely in SE Wyoming and along the I-80 corridor into Nebraska, with teens further north.

Colder weather is also headed our way later in the week.

Just for reference, wind speeds of 74 miles per hour are generally considered to be hurricane-force winds.

Over four inches of snow is expected for some areas.

The agency says the weather is "looking increasingly warm as the high-pressure system that has been baking the west coast slowly moves east into the Rockies.''

Outdoor events are likely going to be impacted by the rain and storms through the holiday weekend.

The main hazards will be 60 mph winds and localized quarter to golf ball size hail.

The agency also says that ''a brief landspout tornado can't be fully ruled out.''

Snowfall will result in slick roads and reduced visibility that could make travel difficult at times.

Low visibility and slick roadways are expected to make travel difficult at times, especially along Interstate 80 between Cheyenne and Laramie.
