Low Temps of -15 Or Colder Possible In SE Wyoming This Weekend
Southeast Wyoming is bracing for low temps in the double-digit subzero range this weekend.
Townsquare Media asked Cheyenne-based meteorologist Don Day Jr. how cold he thinks Cheyenne and Laramie could get this weekend.
Here is his response: ''-10 to -15 but could end up colder than that.''
Day is the founder and President of Dayweather Inc. in Cheyenne. And to be clear, we are talking about actual temperatures, not wind chills.
