The agency says possible hazards include tornadoes, winds of up to 80 miles per hour, and baseball size hail.

Very large hail (possibly to baseballs), downburst winds to 70 mph and a few tornadoes are possible Wednesday afternoon through mid evening for the area.

Cheyenne-based meteorologist Don Day Jr. recently told Townsquare Media that it's not unusual for Wyoming to see multiple tornadoes this time of year.

A series of warnings were issued, and Cheyenne's emergency sirens were alerted at one point.
