Weather Story

A high wind warning is now in effect for many of our Wyoming zones, including the usual wind prone locations as well as both the Laramie Valley and the Cheyenne Ridge. Winds gusting between 60-70+ mph will be possible tonight into early tomorrow afternoon. Blowing snow will also be possible near Arlington and Elk Mountain, with significantly reduced visibilities at times.

6PM 12/1 - Here's a look back at November weather across our area! Despite the frigid end to the month over the last few days, the exceptionally warm and dry start dominated. Temperatures were well above average (by 3-5F in Nebraska and 5-8F in Wyoming) for the month as a whole. Cheyenne, Laramie, Rawlins, and Sidney all saw top 10 warmest Novembers! Precipitation was generally below average, although Chadron and Alliance managed to get close to average for the month. Laramie observed its second driest November on record.

6PM 12/1 - It'll come as no surprise to most that snowfall was well below average across our area last month. While the light snow over the Thanksgiving weekend prevented a record low snowfall month, most of the area is running over 6" below the average snow totals through the end of November. This extended to the mountains as well. The Sierra Madre and Snowy ranges both saw their least snowy November on record, with current mountain snowpack generally ranging between 10 and 40% of median.
