Cheyenne County weekend warmth fades to a cool Sunday before quiet, sunny week
Cheyenne Wells and the rest of Cheyenne County will see a sunny, mild Saturday with highs in the low 80s before a passing cold front pulls Sunday's readings back into the upper 60s. Skies stay clear and winds stay light through a quiet, mostly calm stretch into the middle of next week.
Saturday brings full sunshine, a high near 81, and southwest winds of 10 to 15 mph turning to the north by afternoon. Saturday night drops to a low near 41 under mostly cloudy skies with continued north winds of 10 to 15 mph.
Meteorologists with the National Weather Service forecast office in Goodland, Kan. — which provides forecasts for Cheyenne County and the rest of the Tri-State area along the Colorado-Kansas border — described in this week's Area Forecast Discussion an unsettled but largely dry weekend pattern, with shortwave troughs sliding across the region but limited surface moisture for measurable precipitation.
Sunday cooldown
Sunday is the coolest day of the period in Cheyenne Wells, with mostly sunny skies, a high near 68, and light north winds of 5 to 10 mph easing and turning easterly by afternoon. Sunday night clears out, with a low near 40 and a light southerly breeze returning before sunrise.

Extended outlook: a quiet, sunny stretch
Monday through Wednesday all look quiet under a building upper-level ridge. Cheyenne Wells can expect full sunshine, a high near 85 on Monday, near 82 on Tuesday and back near 85 on Wednesday, with light and variable winds carrying through each afternoon.
Overnight lows climb a bit by midweek, falling only to the upper 40s Monday night, the mid-40s Tuesday night and into the low 50s by Wednesday night.
Fire weather
No Red Flag Warnings are in effect for Cheyenne County, and the Goodland office is not advertising fire weather highlights for the upcoming period. The bulk of the Tri-State area's fire concern this spring has remained east of the Colorado-Kansas border, and the wind and humidity combination across far-eastern Colorado falls short of critical thresholds. Residents should still take normal precautions with outdoor burning given continued dry conditions across the region.
