The National Weather Service of Cheyenne has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for parts of Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska this May 26, 2017.

The city says dangerous ice conditions exist due to changing weather conditions, increased cattails along the edges of the lake and pond, and the lake aerator located in LaBonte Lake.

Frostbite can occur in less than five minutes in such conditions, so dress appropriately if you go outside and take extra care to protect extremities such as fingers, toes, ear lobes and the tip of your nose.
