After a burst of warm, summer-like weather over the weekend, southeast Wyoming residents can expect, a period of cooler weather with rain and mountain snowfall over the next few days.

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

 While summer-like weather is dominating this weekend, multiple cold fronts next week will bring colder temperatures back to our area, especially Tuesday into Wednesday morning. 🌤️⚡ Expect warm weather to continue through the weekend, with a few showers this afternoon, and scattered thunderstorms on Sunday. 📉 Turning cooler and stormier on Monday. The best chance for rainfall and high elevation snowfall will be Monday through early Wednesday. Exact temperatures and how low snow levels will reach remains uncertain at this time. 🌦️ Additional storms systems will keep chances for showers and storms in the forecast through the end of next week, but the rainfall in this period is expected to be less widespread.
