What they said. As temperatures heat up, grasses and finer fuels will continue to dry out! Practice caution with any activity that may cause a spark this weekend into early next week! #wawx #WaWILDFIRE

Temperatures will heat up this weekend but area waterways remain COLD from mountain snow melt! While the water might sound nice, think twice before jumping right in! Cold water shock can kill you in a matter of minutes - so always be prepared & aware near the water. #wawx

It’ll be our first real warm weekend of the year. Some things to stay safe; wear a PFD if on or near the water, wear your helmet if on your bike/motorcycle/ATV, watch out for motorcycles, remember our lakes and rivers are still very cold, and keep that social distancing please.
It'll continue to be warm through the weekend across the region. Make sure to stay hydrated and keep cool this weekend. #wawx

A tragic loss tonight. We send our heartfelt condolences to Trooper Schaffer’s family and our brothers and sisters in the @wastatepatrol .
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Trooper Justin R. Schaffer, who died in the line of duty today. Justin passed away at the age of 28 after serving 7 years with WSP. This is a time of enormous grief for our agency, family and the community he served.
