The wider storm
The combination of a stationary front over the area, a shortwave moving across the area and strong jet dynamics brought rounds of severe thunderstorms over northern and central Wyoming. The hardest hit town this day was Lovell where a combination of 70 mph winds and golf ball size hail produced widespread damage with hundreds of broken windows and many houses with damaged siding. Strong winds also downed many trees and limbs. The same storm produced 79 mph winds at the Greybull airport. Elsewhere, severe thunderstorms moved through Johnson and Natrona Counties. There were numerous reports of quarter to golf ball size hail from west of Buffalo through Midwest and into Casper. A weak landspout tornado also touched down north of Casper. Another storm produced quarter size hail in Thermopolis.
Began near Thermopolis (43.6521, -108.2247).
