Wind Watch—What You Need to Know
While the warmer temps are a welcome change, the wind is going to make itself known—especially on Tuesday, when gusts could get strong enough to impact driving.
How to Prepare for Windy Days:
Secure outdoor items—trash cans, patio furniture, and anything that could fly away.
Drive carefully—especially if you drive a high-profile vehicle like an RV or truck.
Be fire-aware—windy, dry conditions increase wildfire risk, so be mindful of sparks and open flames.
How to Make the Most of the Warm-Up
With highs in the 50s and 60s, it’s the perfect excuse to get some fresh air before winter tries to make a comeback.
Ideas for Enjoying the Mild Weather:
Take a walk or bike ride—you won’t need that heavy winter coat!
Open the windows—let some fresh air into the house.
Fire up the grill—why not enjoy an early taste of BBQ season?
How Long Will This Last?
The warmer weather should stick around through midweek, but let’s be honest—Wyoming weather is unpredictable. Don’t be surprised if winter decides to make a comeback later in the week!
This isn’t quite spring, but it’s a much-needed break from the cold! Soak up the sun, enjoy the mild air, and keep an eye on the wind—especially on Tuesday.
