The agency posted this statement on its website on Friday morning:
Heads up to area ranchers and those planning travel next week on a drastic change in the weather. A strong low pressure system looks to move through the area, bringing widespread snow, strong winds and much colder temperatures. The forecast could change, but right now, guidance is showing this low tracking through northern Colorado.
A very favorable pattern for heavy snow and blizzard conditions for southeast Wyoming and Nebraska Panhandle. Really cold temperatures behind this low as well and we re probably way too warm on our temperature forecast for the middle/end of next week.

Cheney, a two-term Republican, has come under fire from supporters of former President Donald Trump for voting for Trump s impeachment recently in the U.S. House. Cheney has said that she voted for impeachment because of what she sees as Trump s role in inciting a Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C.
Cheney said of the former president that he summoned this mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack.
Trump s defenders have denied that he incited the attack, and some have claimed the mob that attacked the Capitol were actually members of Antifa. But the FBI has said there is no evidence that Antifa was involved in the Jan. 6 riot.
