GILLETTE, Wyo. — Gillette’s luck with warmer, though slightly breezy, weather will continue today and through a majority of this week. Today’s high is 58 degrees, with 8–14 mph winds.
Tonight, like today, will be mostly clear. The low tonight will fall to just 26 degrees, but the wind will calm down to a very gentle 5–8 mph — almost stagnant for a place like Wyoming. Winds could occasionally reach as fast as 24 mph in the day and 17 mph later this evening.
Wednesday will be similarly warm to today; its high is forecast to be 62 degrees. Winds will be even gentler than today and Thursday, making Wednesday perhaps the most temperate of all the days this week. Thursday, though bringing with it a high of 65 degrees, will be extremely breezy.
And then comes Thursday night, which will usher in a new spell of wintry weather. Rain after midnight will turn to snow by 5 a.m. Gillette isn’t forecast to return back to 50-degree weather until this coming Monday.
