Windy Saturday Across the Cowboy State

A strong cold front raced east across west and central Wyoming Saturday afternoon.  The front produced a few thunderstorms over the northwest mountains,
but the main impacts were record high temperatures ahead of the front on Friday and Saturday and strong winds with the frontal passage.  A peak wind gust
 of
71 mph was recorded at the Lander airport at 258 PM on Saturday.  The highest gust reported so far was 84 mph at a station 5 miles west northwest of Clark, recorded
at 1136 AM Saturday. Record or near record high temperatures are listed below along with peak wind gusts.  These lists will be updated as we receive more information.
