But Torrington, Lusk, and Scottsbluff were, and the weather service also warned that the area covered by the advisory could be expanded to include more communities.

The agency posted this statement on its website:

A Heat Advisory is in effect starting at noon Tuesday until through late Wednesday night. Daytime highs are expected to soar around 100-105 degrees in areas with low nighttime temperatures exceeding 70 degrees, offering little relief from the daytime heat. Extra precautions should be taken when working or spending time outside, in addition to knowing the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

LOOK: VIntage Postcards Showing-Off Cheyenne Frontier Days Through the Years

Postcards have been a thing since the mid-1800s. Sending pictures and short messages on card-stock paper to friends and families really took off in the first half of the 20th century. While not quite as popular today, they still exist, and collecting postcards even has a special name, Deltiology.

Postcards were made for a lot of things, like vacation destinations and events. Cheyenne Frontier Days was the source of many. On the auction site eBay we found a lot of vintage postcards with fascinating pictures of Cheyenne and the Daddy of 'Em All.
