CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) - While the weekend does not look to be too bad, we could see some increased fire danger concerns across parts of Wyoming.

A Fire Weather Watch is in effect from Saturday Afternoon through Saturday Evening through portions of Central and South Central Wyoming, including Casper to Riverton and from Laramie to Rawlins. The combination of relative humidity down to 10%, along with wind gusts to 30 mph will result in critical fire weather conditions to develop.
