NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY

EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE. THE SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL BECOME QUITE
GUSTY ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY NIGHT. A WARM UP IS IN
STORE FOR THE WEEKEND AND THIS WILL CAUSE AFTERNOON MINIMUM
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TO DROP INTO THE 15-20 PERCENT RANGE ACROSS
THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF SOUTHEAST WYOMING. IN ADDITION...SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL BE BREEZY AT TIMES OVER THE WEEKEND ACROSS SOUTHEAST
WYOMING.
