CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A storm system is bringing rain and snow to parts of Wyoming.

Up to a foot of snow is possible in the Bighorn and Wind River mountains. Snow was expected in areas as low as around the 6,500 foot elevation.

A winter storm warning was posted Thursday night and Friday along the Interstate 80 corridor between Cheyenne and Laramie, where more than 7 inches of snow and strong winds are expected.

Rain in lower elevations was expected to cause problems where snowmelt has swollen rivers and streams.

Flood warnings were posted for much of Lincoln County in western Wyoming, including Kemmerer, and a flood watch was posted for areas of neighboring Sublette County, including Jackson, Pinedale and Big Piney.
