dry

Investigators are trying to determine what sparked a vegetation fire in south Cheyenne Friday afternoon.

Cheyenne recorded its third driest April on record and the driest April since 1880, according to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne.

Temperatures across southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle are expected to climb into the 60s and 70s this weekend before another round of unsettled weather arrives.

Since 1999 Wyoming has been under horrible drought conditions and there's no end in sight.

Wind gusts in excess of 65 mph are expected to blast a large portion of southeast Wyoming late tonight through late Monday.

The National Weather Service in Cheyenne has issued a Fire Weather Watch for parts of southeast Wyoming on Thursday.

Great weather will finish the work week, but Mother's Day will be breezy and cold with a chance for showers and scattered thunderstorms.
