🚩 RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT – MONDAY 🚩

Heads up, everyone — fire weather conditions are lining up for a dangerous day.

🕚 When: 11 AM – 8 PM MDT Monday
📍 Where: Central Wyoming (Zones 280 & 289)
Counties impacted: Fremont, Natrona, and Sweetwater

💨 What to expect:
• West winds 15–25 mph with gusts up to 30–35 mph
• Very low humidity (as low as 10–15%)

🔥 Why it matters:
These conditions can cause fires to start easily and spread rapidly with erratic behavior.

⚠️ What you should do:
• Avoid any outdoor burning
• Secure trailer chains and anything that could spark
• Be extra cautious with equipment and vehicles
• Report smoke or fire immediately

A Red Flag Warning means critical fire weather conditions are happening or about to happen — it doesn’t take much for things to get out of control.

Stay alert, stay safe, and let’s keep our community fire-free. 💪🔥

🚨 Safety Check Saturday 🚨

Quick reminder from the crew:

Emergencies don’t make appointments—and the little things you do now matter.

✔️ Know where your fire extinguishers are
✔️ Make sure exits in your home aren’t blocked
✔️ Check on a neighbor, friend, or family member

It takes 5 minutes to be a little more prepared… and that can make all the difference.

Stay ready, stay safe. 👊

❄️ FREEZE WARNING TONIGHT ❄️

Heads up, everyone—winter isn’t done with us just yet.

A Freeze Warning is in effect from 6 PM this evening through 9 AM Saturday. Overnight temperatures are expected to drop into the mid to upper teens, with the coldest conditions hitting just before sunrise.

📍 Where:
Green Mountains, Rattlesnake Range, and lower elevations of Natrona County

⚠️ What this means:
• Frost and freezing temps could kill crops and sensitive plants
• Risk of damage to outdoor plumbing, including sprinkler systems

🛠️ What you should do now:
• Cover or bring in tender plants
• Drain and winterize sprinkler systems
• Protect exposed pipes

Don’t let the warm weather earlier fool you—this kind of cold can do real damage overnight. Take a few minutes now to prepare and save yourself a headache later.

Stay safe and stay warm,

❄️ Good Morning, Wyoming ❄️

Roads may look fine at first glance, but conditions can change quickly—especially with below freezing temps and moisture on the ground.

Slow it down this morning.
Give yourself extra time to get where you’re going, increase your following distance, and watch for slick spots—bridges and shaded areas freeze first.

No meeting, shift, or coffee run is worth risking it. Safe driving starts with patience. 🚗💨

🚨❄️ WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY – CONDITIONS GOING DOWNHILL FAST ❄️🚨
In effect until Noon Friday

🌧️➡️❄️ Temps are dropping and we’re shifting into snow, wind, and ice—and it’s going to get nasty quick.

🌨️ What we’re looking at:
• 1–3 inches of snow (locally up to 4”)
• Wind gusts 45–55 mph 🌬️
• Temps crashing below 28°F by morning
• Snow squalls possible = sudden whiteout conditions

⚠️ What this means:
• Roads will go from wet → icy FAST
• Blowing snow + strong winds = low visibility
• Travel along US 20/26 eastbound could get especially rough
• Overnight into morning commute could be slick

🚗 Don’t get caught off guard:
• Slow it way down
• Expect sudden changes in visibility
• Give extra following distance
• If you can stay home later tonight… not a bad call

This is one of those classic Wyoming setups—looks manageable until it isn’t.

We’ll keep updates coming. Stay safe.

🚨 WEATHER ALERT: Slick Conditions Incoming Tonight ❄️🌧️

Heads up, everyone—Mother Nature is about to pull a classic Wyoming switch-up.

We’re expecting rain to move in later this evening, but don’t get too comfortable…
🌡️ Temps will drop quickly after dark, turning that rain into ice and snow.

That means:
⚠️ Wet roads → icy roads FAST
⚠️ Bridges & overpasses will freeze first
⚠️ Visibility may drop as snow moves in overnight

This type of quick freeze can catch drivers off guard, especially during the evening and overnight hours.

🛑 Safety Tips:
• Slow it down—leave extra space between vehicles
• Watch for black ice (it’s sneaky 👀)
• Give yourself extra time if you have to be out
• When in doubt… stay home

We’ll keep an eye on conditions and update as needed. Stay safe out there!

🚨❄️ WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY ❄️🚨
Salt Creek Emergency Services

Heads up, Natrona County — winter is making a return and it’s bringing some attitude with it.

🕒 WHEN:
Thursday 3 PM → Friday Noon

📍 WHERE:
Natrona County lower elevations

🌨️ WHAT TO EXPECT:
• 2–5 inches of snow (locally up to 6”)
• Wind gusts 45–55 mph 🌬️
• Temps dropping below 28° by Friday morning
• Possible snow squalls Thursday afternoon/evening

⚠️ IMPACTS:

• The latest predictions
• The down & dirty on watches/warnings (if issued)
