Severe storms erupted across southeast Wyoming on Sunday leading to numerous reports of large hail and flash flooding. A large storm moved into the Wheatland area with reports of up to tennis-ball sized hail and several funnel clouds that eventually prompted the Weather Service in Cheyenne to issue a tornado warning for the Wheatland vicinity. No touchdowns were reported as the storm missed the heart of town a few miles to the west.
Other storms in Wyoming knocked down trees and caused flash flooding in/near Torrington to the east of Wheatland. Goshen County EM reported tree down on city park restroom with individuals trapped inside. Extent of injuries unknown.
Cheyenne also took on several rounds of storms with the first round producing large hail on the south side of the city and a second round dumping heavy rains and prompting flash flood warnings.
These storms could be a preview of what is to come on Monday as an enhanced risk of severe weather is forecast for parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas on Monday.
