Cold snap brings record lows

Although Thermopolis was not included in a recent release by the National Weather Service of recent record breaking low temperatures, residents still know the bitter cold snap that hit Wyoming beginning last week did indeed include Hot Springs County.

According to local reports, the lowest daytime high temperature was recorded at -3 degrees on Friday, February 12.

The lowest nighttime low was recorded as -14 on Saturday night.

These temperatures were recorded in town. Residents in other areas of the county reported slightly colder temperatures.

Historically, records have not been kept long enough for Thermopolis that NOAA includes us in the list of record cold temperatures.

Typically, temperatures top out around the mid 30s this time of year with the lows being in the high single digits or the low teens. The forecast for Thermopolis through Sunday shows we will be coming back around to those more mild temperatures for a break in the bitter cold.
