GILLETTE, Wyo. — Gillette can look forward to a week of sunshine and comfortable temperatures, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service in Rapid City, South Dakota.

Today, expect sunny skies with a high near 35 degrees. However, a northwest wind will bring windchill values as low as 11 degrees. Winds will be breezy, with gusts of up to 22 mph.

The sunny weather will continue throughout the week, with highs reaching the upper 30s and even 40 degrees by Wednesday. While mornings will be chilly with lows in the upper teens and low 20s, winds will be less intense than today.

The pleasant conditions will persist through the end of the week. However, the weekend may bring a change in the weather pattern. By Saturday night, there is a slight chance of snow, which may continue into Sunday. Temperatures will remain in the mid-30s.
