It may still officially be summer according to the calendar, but some winter weather is expected for southeast Wyoming mountain ranges through Monday evening, according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service.

The agency posted this statement on its website:

 Headsup to folks west of the Laramie Range tonight and Monday. Much colder temperatures are on the way for tonight and Monday, behind a cold front that will move through the area tonight. The Snowy and Sierra Madre Ranges are under a Freeze Warning for tonight, with overnight lows falling into the low to mid 20s.
