Cheyenne, Wyoming, is set to experience a mix of severe weather conditions this weekend, including high temperatures and storm risks.
Friday's forecast predicts a high of 91°F (33°C) under mostly sunny skies, with a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms developing after noon.

Impact & Risks

Residents in Cheyenne and surrounding areas should prepare for potentially damaging wind gusts, large hail, and elevated fire risks. The marginal risk for severe weather indicates that while widespread severe storms are not expected, localized impacts could be significant. Wind gusts up to 70 mph may cause property damage, downed trees, and power outages. Hail could damage vehicles and crops. Fire risks are heightened due to dry conditions and low humidity, particularly in southeast Wyoming. Breezy conditions on Sunday may exacerbate fire spread north of Interstate 80.
