A Wet Weekend May Not Help Matters

''Here's your weekend forecast for southeast Wyoming and Nebraska Panhandle. Storms will be on the increase this afternoon, initially across areas west of the Laramie Range. Storms will spread east late this afternoon into the evening hours. Better chances for showers and storms Saturday across most areas. Some of these storms will be strong to severe. Much cooler Sunday as we see upslope easterly winds in the Panhandle to the east slopes of the Laramie Range. Low clouds and fog could be widespread Sunday morning, before breaking out in the afternoon. If planning outdoor activities, bring your rain gear!:'
