This front is expected to really ramp up winds ahead of it Wednesday, to a point where we could see very strong winds in the wind-prone areas of southeast Wyoming.

Turning cooler Saturday and Sunday behind a Pacific cold front.

A few of the storms could become severe with damaging downburst winds to 70 mph.

Storm motion is expected to be generally south to north, with 2-8PM the primary period to watch.

Westerly winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts as high as 60 mph are likely in the warned areas today through 6PM.

Another hot day expected for your Monday, with temperatures possibly reaching the century mark in the Panhandle today.

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

Wyoming is a state, after all, where winter can run from October into May, and snowfall even in June and late August is not all that unusual.

At about the same time as the hail was pounding Sidney, a tornado was reported near Van Tassel, Wyoming.
