Summer weather alerts (Sheridan, Ranchester, Dayton: moving, building, service)

[emeraldsky]

Thanks Elkhunter, you always come up with the best ideas...

We've heard that tornado siren a little too often lately here in Gillette. Trying to be cool, calm, and collected about it.

Was in WalMart the other day and thought I heard it again. But it was just a wheelchair whizzing by, thankfully. The cashier had thought the same thing earlier too. Now we hear it even when we really don't...

[ElkHunter]

It's 11pm and it looks like everything is settled in Wyoming.

There are still some active alerts in Montana but by looking at the radar, Hardin, Custer, Lame Deer are all getting blasted. But those storm cells are all moving straight east instead of down toward us for a change.

So right now, all is quiet in Wyoming. At least in North Central, and North Eastern area from I-90 north.

[ElkHunter]

It's now 1:38 am and the weather alert radio lit off.

Severe weather alert for Cambell and Cook county. There is a severe storm South West of Broadus moving South East. Damaging winds, hail the size of ping pong balls.

By the radar, this storm is tracking straight towards Devils tower. I've watched it on Radar since it was up by Hardin Mt early in the evening. This storm has doubled in size.

[ElkHunter]

At 4am, 6-18 my weather radio lit off. Severe Weather alert for Big Horn County Montana. When I checked the Radar, there was a large cell just north of Hardin. Now, at 4:30 the cell is over Lame Deer, Busby area and tracking South East.

Seems that several storms have followed this exact pattern lately.

[emeraldsky]

Listening to the weather radio this morning... looks like NE Wyoming and Western SD may have some busy weather over the next few days.

Large hail, damaging winds, and the chance for severe thunderstorms that could possibly produce tornados. Thursday - Tuesday. So have a plan if you hear that siren go off, or see the sky looking ominous. For those of you without basements, the library here in Campbell County has one.

I hope everyone stays safe and sounds....
I have been turning on my weather radio a lot these past few days...
some active weather the past few days...
