Temperatures across southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle are expected to climb into the 60s and 70s this weekend before another round of unsettled weather arrives.
Most Wyomingites are pretty used to the wind. Whether it is just a "gentle breeze" or a full blown gale force gust, the wind is constantly blowing. How windy does it need to get outside for you to actually consider it "windy"?
Understatement: Wyoming wind can be brutal.
Early March of 2017 saw some of the most intense winds Wyoming has seen in years. Highways have were shut down to high profile traffic and light trucks. Monday March sixth Douglas Wyoming asked people to just stay home...
Today's expected winds in SE Wyoming are triggering a High Wind Warning until 8:00 tonight. High profile vehicles should definitely pay attention to. And the Red Flag warnings are also up because of the increased fire danger.
Even if you got some rain over night where you are, that moisture has probably already evaporated leaving tinder dry conditions and 30 - 60 mph winds will spread fire rapidly
