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.
