Cheyenne, WY – A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for portions of southeastern Wyoming, with high fire danger expected this weekend due to low humidity and gusty winds. Breezy conditions will prevail Saturday, with wind gusts reaching 30 mph and humidity levels dropping to as low as 10%. Areas west of I-25 are especially vulnerable, and residents are urged to take precautions.
According to the National Weather Service, the watch is in effect from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday. The combination of wind and dry air increases the potential for wildfires, and open burning is strongly discouraged. Residents should avoid any activities that could spark fires and stay alert for further updates.
As the weekend progresses, temperatures will rise, with Saturday seeing a return of warmer conditions, continuing into early next week. Although breezy, conditions should slightly improve by Monday. Locals should monitor local weather reports for potential changes and adhere to fire safety recommendations.
For the next five days, dry conditions are expected, with warming trends starting Sunday.
