Dangerously cold weather ranging into the minus double digits and wind chills dipping below -30 or colder in many areas are in the SE Wyoming weather forecast through Monday.

That's according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service. The agency posted the following on its website:

Here's a look at forecast wind chill temperatures for a handful of locations across our area. Dangerous cold is expected for our area in two surges: the first occurring during the day Friday, and the second occurring Sunday night or Monday, which will spread cold to higher elevations west of the Laramie range. Wind Chill Warnings are in effect for all areas along and east of the Laramie range 5PM Friday through 6AM Monday.

And besides the brutally cold temperatures, snow squalls are also in the forecast:

Friday's arctic cold front will also come with another round of snow. Expect snow showers to redevelop over Wyoming Fri morning and spread eastward through the afternoon and evening. Briefly intense snow squalls are also possible, and may bring locally heavy snow, visibility under 1/4 mile, and gusty winds.

As if that wasn't enough, both Cheyenne and Laramie are also under high-wind warnings:
