Riverton, WY – The National Weather Service (NWS) in Riverton, Wyoming, has issued a weather update forecasting warmer temperatures and breezy afternoon winds for today. Although showers and thunderstorms are anticipated, they will be less widespread, leaving most areas dry. This weather pattern will lead to elevated fire weather conditions expected to persist through the end of the week.
According to the NWS, today’s high temperatures will range from the upper 70s to mid-90s across Wyoming, with the warmest spots being in the central and eastern parts of the state. Tonight’s lows will dip into the mid-40s to upper 50s, with cooler temperatures expected in the higher elevations.
Residents are urged to remain vigilant due to the increased fire risk, particularly in areas where the wind could exacerbate dry conditions. The NWS advises against outdoor burning and suggests that residents stay informed about local fire restrictions. The elevated fire danger is expected to continue at least through Wednesday, with conditions potentially worsening if the dry weather persists.
