Hail

The National Weather Service in Cheyenne says it will be downright hot again mid to late week, with widespread highs in the 90s Wednesday.

Some storms could feature winds of up to 60 miles per hour and hail of up to a quarter in size.

It looks like Mother Nature may be planning her own fireworks this Fourth of July weekend.

Damaging winds up 60 MPH are the primary hazard. Up to quarter-sized hail will also be possible with the strongest storms.

Lusk, Torrington, Douglas, and several other communities could be hit by the storms.

While the threat is very low, an isolated tornado can't be ruled out during thunderstorm activity.

Meanwhile, a tornado was reported about 15 miles east of Lusk, according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service at around 2:30 p.m.

The agency also says that while tornadoes aren't likely today, the possibility cannot absolutely be ruled out.

The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service says hail and strong winds are possible this afternoon [May 17] in southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle.

The main hazards of the storms will be small hail of up to an inch in diameter and winds that could reach 60 miles per hour.
