Heavy rains, hail pounds southeastern Wyoming

Up to 2 inches of rain and hail bigger than golf balls pounded parts of southeastern Wyoming on Wednesday night and the National Weather Service warns that more of the same could be coming Thursday afternoon. Forecaster Rob Cox with the National Weather Service in Cheyenne says 2-inch diameter hail was reported about 18 miles northeast of Cheyenne early Thursday morning. He said Cheyenne and areas to the east received from 1- to 2 inches of rain. Cox says another storm is on track to move through southeastern Wyoming on Thursday that will likely bring large hail, damaging winds and the possibility of small tornadoes. He says the storm should start after lunch and continue until 9 p.m.
