Some very high elevations in southeast Wyoming could see snow, according to meteorologist Don Day Jr.

The main threat today is strong downburst winds, but large hail and heavy rainfall could be possible as well.

The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service says a tornado that touched down near Van Tassel on Tuesday afternoon generated wind speeds of up to 105 miles per hour.

The snow is going to fall and the weather is going to be cold, that's just how it is in Wyoming. Make sure you're taking care of your back while shoveling.

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

The Wyoming Department of Transportation has announced multiple road closures due to wind and winter weather conditions.

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.

The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service has posted high wind and winter storm warnings for parts of southeast Wyoming for tonight.

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

Drought conditions are ending.

Over four inches of snow is expected for some areas.
