Heat wave helps break, tie Wyoming weather records

The latest wave of hot weather has helped break or tie some weather records in Wyoming.

Cheyenne set a new record Wednesday when the temperature reached 93 degrees at the city's airport. The National Weather Service says that broke the previous record high for the day, set back in 1900, by one degree.

Lander has tied the 2001 record for the most 90 degree days at 47. Casper and Riverton have had the second highest number of 90-degree days in their history this summer.

The good news is the fire danger has dropped and no red flag warnings were in effect in the state on Thursday.
