Episodes
The combination of an upper level low moving across Wyoming and large amounts of moisture produced a severe weather outbreak across portions of central Wyoming. Natrona County, including Casper was hard hit with numerous reports of large hail ranging in size from quarter to golf ball size. Two funnel clouds were also sited. Across the Big Horn Basin, downburst winds were the main threat. Wind gusts of over 70 mph were recorded in portions of Park and Big Horn Counties. Along a line from Manderson to Basin to Greybull in Big Horn County, a storm survey counted 33 downed trees and 13 power lines caused by the high winds. Trees also fell on several houses in Basin and Greybull and a roof was blown off a business in Basin.
A shortwave moved across western and central Wyoming on the afternoon of June 27th. There were very large dew point depressions that led to the formation of high based thunderstorms. These thunderstorms led to many severe wind gusts, some of which produced damage. The hardest hit area was Worland where wind gusts as high as 69 mph blew down many trees and power lines. In Natrona County, a pine tree was blown over on a car in downtown Casper. Reports of wind gusts of 59 mph or greater were also reported in Big Horn, Fremont, Hot Springs Counties and Johnson Counties. In Yellowstone, a lightning strike damaged 2 cars. No injuries were reported however.
Several trees and power lines were blown down. Also, 2 to 3 building roofs were damaged.
