Cheyenne, WY – Sunny skies will welcome residents on Veterans Day, but strong winds and cooler temperatures are set to bring a significant shift in weather by mid-week. The National Weather Service has forecast a mild and pleasant start on Monday, with temperatures peaking around 55°F under sunny skies. However, by Tuesday, the region should brace for high winds, particularly affecting high-profile vehicles on the road.
According to the National Weather Service, gusty winds are expected to intensify in Cheyenne and the surrounding areas starting Tuesday night, impacting major routes, including sections of Interstate 25 and other highways traversing southeast Wyoming. Tuesday’s temperatures will hold near 56°F during the day but will drop to about 28°F at night as conditions become blustery. The forecast warns that sustained winds could reach 15 to 20 mph, with gusts approaching 30 mph by Wednesday.
Wednesday is expected to bring the peak of the windy conditions, with a high near 48°F under partly cloudy skies. These gusty winds, coupled with cooler temperatures, could present challenges for those traveling or participating in Veterans Day commemorations. Travelers are advised to secure loose items and exercise caution on the roads, particularly if driving larger vehicles prone to wind impacts.
Looking ahead, Thursday will bring relief from the wind with sunny skies returning and temperatures reaching around 59°F. This calm trend is expected to continue into the weekend, with highs near 50°F on Friday under mostly sunny skies. However, nighttime temperatures will hover just above freezing, so residents should prepare for cold mornings and chilly evenings as the week progresses.
