    Maybe this weather page (which also supports a great little free app) may help you plan your days riding. There are a multitude of layers you can choose in the display.

    Happy trails.

    Sounds Like a Great Ride

    I've ridden I-80 from the George Washington bridge to San Francisco. I've been on the Wyoming and Nebraska portions many times. The weather has usually been just fine.

    June would be one of the best months for weather. You may hit some thunderstorms, but in the summer they usually pass through quickly. Wyoming can be windy at times, but there are windier places, like western Kansas. You'll have cool, even cold, mornings at the high altitudes in Wyoming and Utah, but probably not on the remainder of the route.

    Some stretches can get boring, which is inevitable on any 1,000+ mile ride. But there's lot's of history on the route. It follows some of the Oregon Trail in Nebraska and Wyoming. Much of the route traces US-30, the 'Lincoln Highway'. An absolute must see place is Ole's Big Game Steakhouse in Paxton, Nebraska. You've never seen anything like it.
