More hot weather is in store for Wyoming after some record highs were set around the state. Casper and Lander both hit 96 degrees Monday, breaking previous records. Riverton reached 95 while Big Piney topped out at 92, beating the record of 89 degrees reached in both 2001 and 1986. The high temperature at Lake Yellowstone was 81 degrees which broke a 79-degree record set at the observation center in 2008 but matched a high recorded by a cooperative observer in 2001. National Weather Service meteorologist Jason Anglin says Wyoming's temperatures usually peak by late July and begin tapering off by mid-August. Record highs for Cheyenne, Rawlins and Laramie are possible on Tuesday.
