CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Cheyenne residents should expect warm and dry conditions for the remainder of the week. Temperatures will be well above average, with highs reaching into the 80s starting Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne. The heat will intensify on Thursday, with highs approaching the high 80s in southeast Wyoming.
The warmup is due to a strong upper-level ridge moving east, bringing dry air and clear skies. Overnight temperatures will stay mild, hovering in the high 40s.
Conditions will remain dry through the weekend, with temperatures continuing to climb. Highs are expected to reach the low 90s in some areas of the region. A slight cooldown is forecast starting Monday, with highs dropping into the 60s and 70s.
Although cooler weather is expected next week, temperatures will still remain near normal for late September and early October. There’s some uncertainty about the exact timing and intensity of the cooling trend.
