WYOMING

Another warm and breezy afternoon to end the work week. Some isolated storm chances further north and northwest in the higher terrain, but a more widespread chance over the weekend with the next main system pushing in.

Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible both tonight and Saturday, with a Slight risk (level 2/5) over the Four Corners region each day. Main threats would be large hail and damaging winds with any severe storms.

Isolated thunderstorms are expected to form across southeast Wyoming this afternoon, and could move into portions of the Panhandle and southwest Nebraska this evening. These storms would pose a risk for very large hail, damaging winds, and a tornado or two.

Have a good and safe day.
