    Currently, WYDOT does not have a timetable for reopen.

    The National Weather Service office in Riverton upgraded the winter storm expected to hit Sunday afternoon and continue through Monday from a “watch” to a “warning” Saturday. 

    6-12 inches of snow in lower Fremont County elevations are expected and higher elevations could get up to 18 inches of snow per the latest projections.
