Wildfire activity is expected to be higher than normal in Wyoming this year with low snowpack in mountains. The National Weather Service anticipates warm, dry summer. State Forester Bill Crapser says increased lightning storms can ignite dry grasses and forests. He says the extent of Wyoming's fire season will depend on the weather over the next couple of months. In some places, the wildfire season is already under way. Colorado had a deadly wildfire last month. Other Western states have reported hundreds of smaller fires. Federal meteorologists say nearly all of the Southwest is experiencing drought.
