CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Cheyenne residents can expect mild temperatures and partly to mostly cloudy skies this Friday morning. A surface high is pushing south from Canada, leading to cooler conditions east of the Laramie Range.
Temperatures will be around 10–15 degrees lower than Thursday, but similar to the west of the range. As clouds clear out in the afternoon, warmer conditions will return for the weekend, according to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne.
Gusty winds in parts of Carbon County have triggered a red flag warning this afternoon, signaling critical fire weather conditions. In Cheyenne, winds will remain breezy but are not expected to reach critical fire levels.
Saturday morning will see a brief period of gusty north to northwest winds as a low-pressure system moves through the area. This will slightly warm things up by the afternoon, with temperatures climbing 5–10 degrees higher than Friday. While fire concerns remain elevated, critical conditions are not anticipated.
Looking ahead, a stalled upper-level low over the Intermountain West will bring near-average temperatures into early next week. Highs will range from the mid-60s to upper 70s, with dry conditions expected. The first significant chance of precipitation may arrive toward the end of the week as a potential trough moves into the region.
