CHEYENNE, Wyo — It will be unseasonably warm, dry, and breezy in southeast Wyoming this week, according to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne.
A high wind warning is in effect for the I-80 corridor through the Laramie Range, with gusts of 60 mph expected, through 6:00 p.m. Sunday. Interstate 25 between Chugwater and Wheatland will also be under a high wind watch from 6:00 p.m. Sunday until 9:00 a.m. Monday.
Highs in the mid-60s are expected Monday afternoon east of the Laramie Range, with highs in the mid-50s west. Thursday should be even warmer, with nearly identical conditions.

A cold front will move through the region Monday night and drop temperatures on Tuesday about 10 degrees, the NWS said.
A high wind event is expected Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday in the usual wind-prone areas, though the NWS says it won’t be exceptional, and will wait to issue any advisories.
“Temperatures on Friday and into the weekend begin a gradual decline as our next system begins to ramp up,” the NWS said.
