JACKSON, Wyo. — The National Weather Service in Riverton has issued another Red Flag Warning for Western Wyoming today.

“Showers and thunderstorms will be more numerous than yesterday, especially in western and southern Wyoming,” said the Weather Service. “Isolated dry thunderstorms are possible in western Wyoming. Showers and storms will continue into Friday as well.”

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now or will shortly.

To reduce the incidence of human-caused fires:

  • Always check for fire restrictions before lighting any kind of fire. Remember that LOW fire danger does not mean NO fire danger. Check www.tetonfires.com to see what fire regulations may be in place.
  • Always attend your campfire. Make sure it is dead out and cold to the touch before abandoning. Remember: Drown, Stir, Feel, Repeat.
  • To report wildland fires, call 911 or Teton Interagency Dispatch Center at 307-739-3630.
  • Fireworks cause almost 20,000 reported fires in the U.S. each year. Fireworks are not permitted in Grand Teton National Park, on the Bridger-Teton National Forest, within the National Elk Refuge, or in Sublette and Teton Counties.
