Weather Story

8PM 3/19 - The next few days will feel more like the summer solstice than the spring equinox. Temperatures 25 to 40 degrees above average are expected Friday and Saturday, with the warmth peaking on Saturday. High temperatures are forecast to break daily record highs each of the next 2 days. March monthly record highs (some of which were just set today) are likely to be broken once again. A few spots may even see temperatures within a few degrees of *April* monthly records! The warmth combined with the dry and breezy conditions will continue dangerous fire weather conditions through Saturday night. Don't be the spark and avoid any outdoor burning!

8PM 3/19 - Thursday was the warmest March day on record for Cheyenne, Laramie, Rawlins, Alliance and Sidney! New monthly record highs were set today at all of those locations. Scottsbluff and Chadron both broke daily record highs, but didn't quite match the monthly record today. These new records may only stand for a day or two, as temperatures will be fairly similar on Friday, and then possibly a few degrees warmer on Saturday.
