As we get into tonight that rain in Cheyenne will start to freeze into snow as we get near freezing tonight. Our lows are going to be very chilly across the state and feel more like our winter lows than spring. The snow could also make roads slick in the morning. However, tomorrow’s highs are going to be in the 60s again so that snow will not stick around if it does stick to the ground overnight. Our warmer temperatures will make it feel much more like spring before more spring showers move in Thursday.
