Weather Story

5AM 5/2 - A very dry airmass is moving over the area today. Expect very low relative humidity this afternoon. While winds won't be too strong (by our standards), gusts of 15 to 25 mph will still elevate fire weather concerns considering the lack of moisture. Avoid outdoor burning today! Humidity will improve along and north of the North Platte River on Sunday, but the I-80 corridor of southeast Wyoming can expect additional elevated fire weather conditions with dry and breezy weather expected.

4:30AM 5/2 - Warm weather will continue through the week with a few showers and storms possible Sunday. Big changes are on the way for next week. This will begin with a chance for showers and thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening. Temperatures will plummet into Tuesday. Rain and snow showers are likely Monday night through Wednesday morning. Higher elevations above 6000 ft are more likely to see snow. Rainfall totals and/or snow accumulation (if any) amounts remain uncertain at this time. Another warm up is anticipated for the second half of the week ahead with isolated showers or thunderstorms possible in the afternoon and evening Thursday through Saturday.
