Wyoming Weather 3/7 Evening - Windy Wyoming Whisper

Good evening. Wyoming. I'm Michael Nally. Step outside this morning. And you’ll feel that crisp, late-winter bite. We’re waking up to clear skies and temperatures in the 30s, but don't let the sunshine fool you. This is just the calm before a very windy weekend. We're talking gusts strong enough to make your hat a permanent resident of the next county. Down in Cheyenne and the southeast corner, you're sitting at 32 degrees with west winds already kicking up 20 to 35 miles an hour. You'll climb to a pleasant 58 this afternoon, but the trade-off is brutal. Gusts could hit 50 miles an hour. That triggers a High Wind Warning through Monday. Tonight stays fierce with lows near 32. And Sunday brings more of the same—sunny skies near 59, but winds that won't quit. If you're traveling I-25 or I-80, keep both hands on the wheel. Over in Casper, it's a similar story with a milder touch. You start at 34 degrees with southwest winds at 18 to 24 miles an hour. Highs hit 56 today, ramping up to gusts near 50 by evening. Winds ease slightly overnight—down to 28 to 31 miles an hour—but that's still blustery with lows around 41. Sunday afternoon hits 63, but the wind sticks around like that one relative who overstays their welcome. Gusts could top 50 again near the foothills. Monday stays warm at 63, but watch out. A cold front arrives Tuesday, dropping highs to 50 and bringing rain and snow showers. Out west in Jackson and Cody, you're waking up to 28 degrees. The big headline? Wind. Gusts near the Absaroka Mountains could hit 70 miles an hour Sunday. That's not a typo. A High Wind Warning is in effect from noon to 11 PM, so if you're near Clark or Chief Joseph Pass, batten down the hatches. You'll see 47 today with south winds picking up this afternoon. A slight chance of rain lingers tonight with lows around 34. Sunday hits 49, but again, the wind howls. By Monday, a cold front drops you to 37 with a chance of snow showers. Tuesday morning could plunge to 16 degrees. Spring might be 13 days away, but Wyoming's weather hasn't read the memo. Secure those trash cans and patio furniture today, because 70-mile-an-hour gusts will find anything loose. Sunday and Monday stay warm but windy with highs in the 50s and 60s. Fire danger becomes a concern Monday as humidity drops. A cold front sweeps through Tuesday, slicing temperatures 16 degrees to 15 degrees and bringing rain and snow—especially in the Laramie Range. We dry out Wednesday and Thursday, but the wind returns with another round of gusts possible Thursday. Friday offers a slight reprieve with highs rebounding to the 50s. Charge your phone before tonight. You'll need it if the power goes out. See you tomorrow.
