Forecasters aren't certain yet, but it does look like a snowy turkey day is possible in southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle.

That's according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service. Both Cheyenne and Laramie have a chance of snow on Thanksgiving Day and especially on Thursday night.

The agency posted the following on its website:

Monday will be mostly cloudy with a chance of snow early in the day. It will be windy east of I-25, and colder with highs in the upper 30s and 40s. Sunny skies and warmer temperatures will prevail for Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs on Tuesday will be in the 40s to lower 50s, with 50s to lower 60s on Wednesday. For Thanksgiving, a cold front and weather disturbance will bring cloudy and colder weather along with a chance of snow. Highs will range from the upper 30s to lower 40s. Friday will be even colder with snow likely earlier in the day. Highs will be in the 20s to near 30 degrees.

Wyoming's once wild west also incorporated a little luxury. Several fine hotels dotted the state, along trade routes and railroad lines. They have rich histories, and of course, ghost legends.
