AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoWildfire Smoke & Fire Danger: Hazy skies over Carbon County and into Wyoming are being blamed on major fires to the north and west, with red flag conditions tied to dry, windy weather; forecasters say monitors show smoke is unlikely to create health concerns, but haze may linger and return. Heat & Weather Watch: Cheyenne is cooling after tying a heat record, with highs dropping into the low-to-mid 70s for a day or two before warming back into the upper 80s and low 90s; Billings-area forecasts also point to smoke lingering and a gradual warmup. Colorado River Water Plan: Colorado officials say a new program would pay some households and sectors in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico to voluntarily use less water, as federal rules move toward deeper cuts for Arizona, California and Nevada. Wildlife on the Ground: Wyoming Game and Fish responded to a black bear wandering into a Casper garage and is urging residents to reduce attractants; the agency also plans continued management on Casper Mountain to curb rocky mountain juniper encroachment into grasslands. Energy Reliability: During a heat wave, an emergency DOE order is pushing some power producers—including Wyoming-linked facilities—to keep backup generation ready, even as coal’s share of Wyoming electricity hits an all-time low.
