CASPER, Wyo. — The National Weather Service (NWS) has released 24-hour peak gust reports for the latest wind event in Wyoming.

In southeast Wyoming, a 99 mph gust was recorded along Interstate 25 near Bordeaux.

“That gust occurred with sustained winds of 76 mph, which is greater than hurricane force!” the NWS said.

I found this on NewsBreak – the #1 local news app used by 45+ million people: Sustained hurricane-force winds produced 99 mph gust in Wyoming during latest wind event

I use an app where I set my destination and time of departure. I then get the weather for the trip to include wind.

The app is Drive Weather.

It not so sure….we had some absolutely vicious winds during a Texas-New Mexico run a while back. Still, the OP is correct. Although when I lived in western Nebraska we used to say there wasn’t actually any wind in Wyoming. It’s just that Nebraska sucks!
