The fire is over 23,000 acres. Fort Robinson and the town of Crawford have been spared. We camp there each year, love the place. It'll be quite different the next time, but plants will regrow, the fort, probably wouldn't.

For those heading east on U.S. 20 from Lusk - the highway is closed to all traffic at Harrison, west of Ft. Robinson, due to the ongoing South Fork fire. It's not at over 23,000 acres and at last report, less than 10 percent contained. #wyoroad

Less storm activity than yesterday, with much of the activity confined to the higher elevations. However, gusty outflow winds off the east slopes of the Bighorns are possible up to 35 to 45 mph for Johnson/Natrona Counties effecting the I-25 corridor from Casper to Buffalo. #WyWx

Remaining warm with a mix of clouds and sun, Isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible this afternoon, but most locations should stay rain free. There will be a gusty wind at times, especially in northern Wyoming. #wywx

[NWS Riverton @NWSRiverton]

The current weather pattern remains similar today. As a result, showers and t'storms will be possible, with gusty winds 40 to 50 mph being the main hazard. An isolated stronger gust is possible. Chances today are most favored over western WY and Johnson/Natrona Counties. #wywx
