Cheyenne National Weather Service

A Red Flag Warning is in effect from 11 AM TO 8 PM Thursday.

Scattered thundershowers are possible, especially towards the end of the week.

While an occasional afternoon shower or thundershower is possible over the upcoming July 4th holiday weekend, the overall forecast looks pretty good for most outdoor activities.

The agency says the weather is "looking increasingly warm as the high-pressure system that has been baking the west coast slowly moves east into the Rockies.''

Brief heavy downpours in some areas will be possible along with lightning, and wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph.

The good news is that cooler, wetter weather is headed our way starting on Thursday.

A Red Flag Warning is in effect for the Sierra Madre, Snowy, and South Laramie Range for Tuesday 11 AM to 8 PM.

Fire Weather Watches are in effect for both Tuesday and Wednesday for areas where fuels have been reported receptive to rapid fire spread.

Record high temperatures are likely for Tuesday and Wednesday.

For the month of June, the 2.37 inches was the 3rd most ever recorded on one date.

The latest update says golf ball size hail, rather than tennis ball size, is possible. But the area possibly at risk for a tornado has been extended further into southeast Wyoming.

Storms are also possible on Tuesday, and some of those storms possibly could become severe.
