The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service is warning about severe storms again today in southeast Wyoming.

The storms could feature golf-ball size hail, heavy rain leading to flash flooding, and 60-mile-per-hour winds. An isolated tornado is also possible.

A twister touched down on Thursday near Yoder, about 13 miles southeast of Torrington.

The agency posted the following on its website: " Another round of fairly widespread thunderstorms is expected this afternoon across the area. Storms will have the potential to become strong to severe once again. ⚠️ The main hazards today are damaging winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall resulting in localized flash flooding. However, an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. 🕒 It will be a slightly later event than yesterday. The primary window for severe weather in Wyoming is 2-8PM, and 4-10PM in Nebraska. Monitor the weather today and have a plan of action in mind if severe weather strikes your area!"
