Storm Watch Area Growing

By NWS Cheyenne

Updated : Feb 9, 2pm

We have upgraded the previous winter headlines to a Winter Weather Advisory beginning this evening, and continuing through early Sunday Morning.

Snowfall accumulations where there are no winter headlines currently present are still possible. Also, there is the potential for localized heavy snow bands to remain over the I-80 Corridor in the southern Nebraska Panhandle for long periods of time, which could easily cause snow accumulations to exceed 6″.

Stay tuned to forecast updates as changes to the winter headlines, and expansion to other areas remain possible. For your local forecast, go to: weather.gov/cys

Original update from NWS Cheyenne

A tricky weather forecast with this next storm system. Heavy snow is possible tonight through Saturday in the watched area.

We expanded the watch to include Banner, Cheyenne and Morrill Counties in the Nebraska Panhandle. Due to inconsistent model guidance run to run consistency, we’ve held off on upgrading to a warning for now to let our day crew take one more look at the next model run. Looking at snow amounts of 4-8 inches for communities in the watched areas. Lesser amounts (1-3 inches) further north and west of these watched areas.

Stay tuned!
