Showers Galore to Start the Week

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) - Cheyenne broke a low temperature record this morning of 26F with 29F as the previous record set in 1930. Wyoming came out of the freeze warning in the morning hours and we do not expect any reissuance this evening. What will happen is increasing showers of rain and snow throughout the state overnight and into Monday morning. An upper level trough is producing much of this weather where east of the feature is mainly rain while west of the feature is colder and more snow-like as it tracks across the state. South central Wyoming will receive the most snowfall and the southeast is primed more for thunderstorms. The Cheyenne region could see the rare occurrence of thundersnow around 6am as storms continue east to until noon. By then another cumulus field will pop up setting off another round of rain showers and isolated thunderstorms in eastern Wyoming.
