CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) - While it has been a very windy last couple of days, the good news is winds do start to settle down. The bad news is precipitation chances are still sticking around, including mountain snow.

Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for the eastern Wind River Mountains until 6 PM Thursday. A Winter Storm Warning continues until Noon Thursday for the northeastern Bighorn Mountains and the North Laramie Range. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 6 AM Thursday for the Absaroka Mountains, the Bighorn Mountains, and Casper Mountain.

Lets break down some of the snowfall amounts for the mountain ranges.

Snow amounts of 1-2 feet are possible in the highest elevations of the Wind River Mountains, elsewhere, we are looking at 4-6 inches of snow, mainly along the South Pass.

For the Northeast Bighorn Mountains, snow accumulations of 8-14 inches are expected, with totals of 4-8 inches in the southern half of the range.

Absaroka Mountains: Snow accumulations of 6-12 inches with some totals up to 1-2 feet possible in the highest peaks of the eastern slopes.

Casper Mountain: Snow accumulations of 6-10 inches are expected.

North Laramie Range: Snow accumulation of 6-12 inches at elevations above 7500 feet and over 12 inches for elevations above 8500 feet.

All of this cloud cover, mountain snow, and shower activity is all due to a low pressure system over the last several days. This will bring us additional precipitation chances heading into Thursday before finally departing to the east.

Focusing on the forecast tonight. Clouds linger with chances of some rain and snow showers. A light slushy accumulation of snow in grassy areas is not out of the question, especially from Rawlins, Laramie and into Casper. Low temperatures tonight will be down into the 30s for most locations.
