Casper stays dry Friday, but isolated thunderstorms return Saturday with a 40% chance, mainly after 5 p.m. Sunday brings the better chance for rain, with a 60% probability of precipitation and showers and thunderstorms expected.
Friday in Casper
Friday in Casper remained under elevated to critical fire weather conditions, even as sunny skies held and the high stayed near 80 degrees. Winds were forecast between 6 and 10 mph.
That left people in Casper and the surrounding region in a dry stretch before the weekend shift. The forecast pointed to much-needed moisture as rain chances carried into Monday.
Saturday in Casper
Saturday in Casper is the first day with a meaningful chance of relief, with a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms mainly after 5 p.m. The high was expected to reach near 89 degrees, which keeps the day warm before the rain chance rises later.
Saturday night carried the same 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms before midnight. For anyone planning to be outside, the timing means the most likely window for storms comes late in the day rather than early.
Sunday and Monday
Sunday raises the odds further, with a 60% chance of precipitation and showers and thunderstorms expected. The high was forecast in the 70s, a cooler setup than Saturday and the clearest sign that the weekend pattern has shifted.
Monday keeps the unsettled stretch going with a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. Tuesday turns sunny again with a high near 80 degrees, then Wednesday and Thursday each carry only a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.
The weekend forecast gives Casper its best shot at moisture after the dry Friday, but the available forecast does not say how much rain the storms could actually deliver.
