Hot Temperatures Forecast For SE Wyoming Today, Friday

Southeast Wyoming residents can expect temperatures that are far above average today and again on Friday, according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service.

The agency posted the following on its website: ''Warm temperatures are expected to close out this week with afternoon highs in the 80s, possibly climbing into the 90s Friday afternoon across the Nebraska Panhandle. Scattered thunderstorms will also be possible Friday afternoon. Be sure to check weather.gov/cys for the latest local forecast.''

But unsettled weather and possibly even some severe storms are possible this weekend:

''Look for showers and thunderstorms to increase in coverage beginning Friday and continuing through the weekend. We certainly need the moisture, so that's a good thing. Bad news, we'll have to keep an eye out for severe thunderstorms each day. Check the weather forecast each day if you're planning outdoor activities this weekend.''
