Issued By: NWS Cheyenne WY on 2026-05-13 @ 1:29 pm
Headline: Special Weather Statement issued May 13 at 12:29PM MDT by NWS Cheyenne WY
Description: A zonal flow pattern over southeast Wyoming will lead to strong
winds on both Thursday and Friday. Wind gusts in excess of 45 MPH
are expected on Thursday and 35 MPH on Friday. A dry airmass in
place both days will lead to relative humidity values below 10
percent. Overnight humidity recoveries Wednesday and Thursday
night will also be poor. The combination of wind and extremely dry
conditions will lead to increased fire danger. However, given
recent moisture and green up of vegetation across the area, fuels
are currently non-critical. Despite this, outdoor burning is
still not recommended given the conditions on Thursday and Friday.
Use caution, don't be the spark!
