URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Cheyenne WY 346 AM MST Fri Dec 19 2025 ...A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE FOOTHILLS OF AND IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT OF THE SOUTHERN LARAMIE RANGE THROUGH LARAMIE COUNTY IS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY... A strong wind event is ongoing and expected to continue to strengthen through much of today alongside rising temperatures and dry conditions including humidity values into the teens. With sustained winds of 40 to 55 mph and gusts of 60 to 75+ mph expected alongside these dry conditions, an extreme environment conducive of significant and rapid wildfire spread will be present.

This environment will be most likely for elevations below 8000 feet along the southern Laramie Range and eastwards through most of Laramie County.
