Hail, 60 MPH Winds, Isolated Tornado Possible In SE Wyoming Today
The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service says areas of southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle could see hail, heavy rain, strong winds, and even an isolated tornado this afternoon and evening.
The agency posted the following on its website:
Mild temperatures will give way to scattered to numerous rain showers developing this afternoon. Some of the eventual thunderstorms that develop could be strong to potentially severe. We have a Marginal Risk for severe weather (1 out of 5) for areas east of the Interstate corridor. The strongest of thunderstorms are anticipated to be from 3-10pm MDT, but they have the potential to linger overnight in the Nebraska Panhandle. Stay tuned to weather updates today as the forecast evolves; the potential for an expansion of the Marginal or Slight Risk for severe weather regions does exist.
