April 2022 was the driest April in Cheyenne since 1880, according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service.

Day said the next five weeks or so will be very important in terms of the ongoing drought and its potential severity.

A major winter storm has passed out of the area, but don't put the winter jackets away yet.

An actual temperature in one Wyoming town was recorded at near 40 below zero.

Don Day says mild winter temperatures generally were the rule last winter, but that won't be the case this winter.
