WARM Tuesday..Continues Wednesday. An Indian Summer?

Good Tuesday Evening,

What an absolutely sunny and pleasant Tuesday all across the Eastern parts of the Divide here in WY into the 60°s. 
Here were the Highs in a few parts in WY:
Casper ~ 66°
Riverton ~ 63°
Worland/Douglas/Cheyenne ~ 64°

We will continue these warm and the breezy conditions on Wednesday with Highs near 70° from Casper and East.

So, I mentioned the Term, "Indian Summer"

Anytime in the fall during Late October/November when you feel warmer than average Temperatures and Dry Conditions..this is known as the Indian Summer.

Here is some more info about it from the Farmers Almanac!

Why is Indian summer called Indian summer? There are many theories. Some say it comes from the early Algonquian Native Americans, who believed that the condition was caused by a warm wind sent from the court of their southwestern god, Cautantowwit.
The most probable origin of the term, in our view, goes back to the very early settlers in New England. Each year they would welcome the arrival of a cold wintry weather in late October when they could leave their stockades unarmed. But then came a time when it would suddenly turn warm again, and the Native Americans would decide to have one more go at the settlers. "Indian summer," the settlers called it.

HAVE A GREAT EVENING...Next Post will be about this "Snow" Potential we could see!
