BurbMan is correct
The temp sensor provides the ambient temperature reading to the engine control module (ECM). The ability to display the outside temp in the cab in 2 scales of measurement is a handy side benefit of needing the instrument to provide info to the ECM.
I asked a guy with a Kenworth where the temp sensor is and he said driver side mirror. Best place for it away from vehicle heat and reflected heat apparently.
