Severe Storms, Hail, Strong Winds Possible in Southeast Wyoming
The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service is warning about the possibility of severe storms in southeast Wyoming today (June 7) and tomorrow.
The agency posted the following on its website:
''Heads up on a weather change across southeast Wyoming and Nebraska Panhandle. Showers and thunderstorms make a return to the area this afternoon/evening. Initially starting out west near Rawlins, storms are expected to develop after noon time today, spreading east of the Laramie Range after 3 PM. These storms expected to be high based and could create severe downburst winds of 60+ mph. Showers and storms become more widespread Saturday afternoon/evening and may be stronger with larger hail, heavy rain and strong downburst winds possible. If outdoors, keep an eye on the sky and take shelter when a storm approaches your location. Have a way to receive any severe warnings when they are issued.''
