Cheyenne National Weather Service

Elevated fire danger is expected across much of the region as hot, dry weather is expected to continue.

Dry, breezy conditions with highs in the 90-100 degree range are expected in much of the region.

The agency says the twister occurred during a rare derecho event.

Tennis-ball size hail and winds of up to 65 MPH are the main hazards expected with these storms.

Some large hail up to 1” may be possible in the strongest storms this afternoon and evening.

A few storms may even produce some small hail this afternoon.

The agency says ''It will generally be cool and unsettled through the week as several areas of disturbed weather push through the area.''

The heaviest snowfall was expected between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m on Thursday.

Afternoon and evening rain showers are expected to change to snow overnight.

Several inches of snow are possible in southeast Wyoming. Plan on the possibility of slippery road conditions, especially Friday evening.
