It’s Wednesday, May 24 – and moisture will continue to make its way into Wyoming this week and into next week, which means afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Some of those storms may produce periods of heavy rainfall, as parts of the state saw yesterday. Rivers will continue to run high as snowmelt continues, and if storms sit over an area for a while, rain will add to the flooding potential. The biggest concern will be in the far west, especially Lincoln County.
