Wyoming State Forester Bill Crapser said it's still too early to glean any information about the summer's fire season.

"The storms are helping us, obviously, with our water situation with the drought," he said.

But from a fire perspective, early moisture can set the summer up in two ways. On the one hand, it may be helpful to keep moisture in the ground. But on the other hand, early moisture allows grasses and other brush to grow. If the summer comes with dry, hot conditions, those grasses are prime to burn.

"You could be in a worse situation," Crapser said.

The state forester also said with more people living in wildland-urban interfaces, and more forests afflicted with disease from bugs, there may be an increased risk of fire.

"The weather in June, July and August is going to affect the fire season," he said. "You could have a lot of snow, but if it really dries out in the summer, that is a problem."
