Southeast Wyoming residents can expect a cold front to hit the area on Thursday morning, leading to single digit temperatures in many areas by the afternoon hours and sub-zero lows/ and/or wind chills by Thursday night.

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

 Don’t expect similar conditions when you leave work and school Thursday afternoon than when you arrive! A cold front will pass through the area mid-morning Thursday with the return of much colder temperatures Most areas along and east of the Laramie Range will see afternoon temperatures in the low teens and single digits eventually dropping below zero once again Thursday night. Additionally, snow showers will develop behind the cold front that could lead to reductions in visibility with brief periods of heavy snowfall. Up to an inch of snowfall is possible through the afternoon. Be sure to stay up to date with the latest local forecast at weather.gov/cys
