It looks like the hottest day so far of 2024 in southeast Wyoming, with the mercury expected to skyrocket above the 90-degree mark in some areas.

That's according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service. The agency posted the following on its website:

Look for decreasing clouds this evening with clears skies by midnight. Overnight lows will range from 48 at Dixon to 61 at Chadron. Wednesday looks to be hot, with mid to upper 90s in the Nebraska Panhandle and upper 80s, to low 90s in southeast Wyoming. May see increasing chances for afternoon showers and thunderstorms out near Rawlins and in the Snowy and Sierra Madre Ranges.

But more rainy weather is expected starting on Thursday:

After a brief break, showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast for southeast Wyoming and Nebraska Panhandle from Thursday onward into the weekend. Best chances for more numerous showers and storms, looks to be Friday, when we could see strong to severe storms east of the Laramie Range. Chances for storms slowly decrease through the weekend into Monday.
