UPDATE: Wyoming Travel Forecast Thanksgiving Week
Here we are, Thanksgiving week.
Let's do a quick breakdown of forecasted travel conditions across Wyoming.
MONDAY
Slick conditions for the northeastern and southwestern parts of the state due to Sunday snow and ice.
TUESDAY
Mostly cloudy across the state and a 30% chance of snow. Overall road conditions should be good, but watch out for the occasional slick spot.
WEDNESDAY
Same as Tuesday, but slightly colder conditions. This could make for patches of black ice. Overall driving conditions are good, but watch for those slick spots.
Caution: Light snow and slick icy roads on Interstate 80 from Laramie, west, for Tuesday into Wednesday. Interstate 70 in Colorado will be far worse.
THURSDAY
Temperatures get a little colder but the skies up to partly cloudy. This will translate to good road conditions later in the morning and throughout the rest of the day.
FRIDAY
Colder than Thursday, but still partly cloudy and most roads should be clear.
WEEKEND
Wyoming will warm up a little, but not much. The best road conditions will be later in the morning and mid-afternoon under partly cloudy skies.
For each day this week, the best driving conditions will be after the sun has had a chance to warm the roads. Early morning patchy ice will be a problem.
The good news is we won't be dealing with much in the way of heavy Wyoming winds.
The best way to check current driving conditions is to use the WYDOT MAP at this link.
The roads on the map will be highlighted for conditions.
It's a good idea to add the camera options. WYDOT has cameras across the Wyoming highway system so you can look at a recent photo of road conditions.
