Cheyenne, Wyoming – Residents across eastern Wyoming should remain alert for strong to marginally severe thunderstorms late this afternoon and into the evening, with the greatest risks focused east of Interstate 25 between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, a few storms could become severe, bringing wind gusts up to 58 mph and hail reaching 1 inch in diameter. Coverage will be more limited than recent days, but isolated storms could still impact travel and outdoor plans, especially in counties including Goshen, Platte, and Laramie.
Cities such as Cheyenne, Torrington, and Wheatland may experience sudden downpours, dangerous lightning, and brief periods of strong wind. Motorists on I-25 and Highways 85 and 26 should watch for rapidly changing conditions, while residents are advised to secure loose outdoor items and stay weather aware through the evening.
No major flooding or tornadoes are expected, but severe weather safety remains a priority: have multiple ways to receive warnings, and move indoors if storms approach. This round of storms follows a stretch of unsettled July weather, though overall coverage should be less widespread today.
Isolated storms may linger through 9 p.m., and the National Weather Service may issue additional advisories if the threat increases.
