Listen Later

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz.
High pressure is owning the state today. and it's bringing two wildly different personalities with it.
In the next 24 hours. Southeast Wyoming wakes up to a High Wind Warning through 11 A.M. We're talking west winds screaming at 30 to 40 miles an hour, gusts punching past 60. If you're driving I-80 between Cheyenne and Laramie in anything taller than a sedan, seriously reconsider your route. The upside? Temperatures rocket to 60 degrees this afternoon — 20 degrees above normal. Tonight drops to 32 under thickening clouds.
Central Wyoming gets the breezy version. High near 58 degrees with gusts to 30 miles an hour. but here's the kicker. A Red Flag Warning fires up at 11 A.M. For Natrona County. Humidity craters to 15 percent. One spark, one ember. and we've got problems. Tonight settles at 35 degrees.
Western Wyoming is the outlier. You're at 21 degrees right now, feels like 19 degrees. High today reaches 46 under mostly sunny skies. but the quiet doesn't last. Snow sneaks in after 3 A.M. Sunday morning. Valleys see a dusting, mountains pick up a few inches.
Sunday brings moisture statewide. Rain showers develop by afternoon. Highs hold in the mid-50s.
The work week stays active. Monday and Tuesday bring rain below, snow in the mountains. Wednesday offers a sunny breather. Then another system rolls in Thursday with more precipitation chances.
Spring equinox is 20 days out. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight daily. Sunrise at 6:36, sunset at 5:49.
Secure anything outside that might want to take flight today.
That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves.
Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.
