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.

Tornado watch issued for areas of Albany and Laramie County.

It's tornado season, and I know I'm not the only one that loves to watch videos of tornadoes as they move through areas.

Four years ago today, Laramie experienced Mother Nature's fury in the form of an F-3 tornado called "Tornado of the Year."

Some April storms might give rise to tornadic activity over the Rockies and Plains, according to the Farmers' Almanac.

Destructive tornadoes can and do happen in Wyoming. Perhaps the best known is the July 16. 1979 tornado that hit Cheyenne, damaging 200 homes, injuring 40 people, and killing one.

The NWS says all types of severe weather are possible including 2-inch hail, 70 mph winds, a few tornadoes and flash flooding.
