Winter storm bears down on Wyoming

Snow has been falling in the mountains of central and western Wyoming, and it's expected to spread down into lower elevations Thursday evening. The National Weather Service has posted a winter storm warning for most of Wyoming through Friday night. The heaviest snow is generally expected to fall east of the Continental Divide. Areas along Interstate 25 can see 7 to 10 inches. Cheyenne is looking at 6 to 12. The mountains, including Casper Mountain, could see up to 20 inches. Gusty winds of 45 mph are expected with the storm. The snow and wind will likely cause hazardous travel conditions in many areas.
