For the rest of the week, wintry weather is back for northeastern Wyoming and western South Dakota. Round #1 will continue moving through the area today with a mix of rain and snow. Round #2 will move through Thursday night and Friday with mostly snow. However, we are watching the potential for freezing rain. Holiday travel impacts are possible, especially Thursday night and Friday.
A Winter Weather Advisory continues for areas north and east of Faith through Thursday morning. Expect 1 to locally 4 inches of snow. Southeast wind gusts around 40 MPH will occur today. IMPACT: Reduced visibility, slick spots on roads, and patchy blowing snow. Outside of the advisory, limited impact and snow accumulations are expected today and tonight.
We are increasingly confident that upcoming snowfall may disrupt travel, especially north of Interstate 90. You may need to adjust your travel plans. We will have updated information later today (April 1, 2026). In the meantime, here are the probabilities for 2+ and 6+ inches of snow Thursday night into Friday.
