FORT COLLINS, COLORADO — Active early morning thunderstorm activity is tracking northeast across North Larimer County and Weld County in Colorado and pushing into southeast Wyoming this morning, bringing pea size hail and lightning strikes as radar shows a solid band of storm activity moving through the Fort Collins and Cheyenne corridor.
The storm activity is generating notable lightning along its path as it pushes northeastward from northern Colorado into southeast Wyoming communities including Cheyenne, Wheatland, Torrington, and Chugwater.
Active Thunderstorm Line Tracking From Fort Collins Northeast Through Cheyenne This Morning
Radar shows a well-defined band of active thunderstorm activity originating near Fort Collins and tracking northeast through the corridor along Interstate 25, with heavy precipitation returns concentrated near Fort Collins pushing northward through Cheyenne and continuing into southeast Wyoming.
The storm track is carrying the active cells from North Larimer County in northern Colorado northeastward through Weld County and into southeast Wyoming, following the I-25 corridor as the line of storms advances during the early morning hours.
Lightning strikes are visible on radar near the Fort Collins and Cheyenne areas, confirming the active and electrified nature of the storm cells moving through the region this morning.
Pea Size Hail Reported With Storm Activity Across North Larimer and Weld County
Pea size hail is accompanying the thunderstorm activity moving through North Larimer County and Weld County this morning, adding an additional hazard to the early morning commute for residents across the Fort Collins and northern Colorado communities in the storm’s path.
While pea size hail falls below the severe hail threshold, it is still capable of creating hazardous driving conditions and causing minor damage to vehicles and outdoor property across communities directly under the storm track this morning.
Residents across Fort Collins, Grover, Raymer, and surrounding northern Colorado and Weld County communities should expect brief but active conditions as the thunderstorm line continues its northeast movement through the region.
Storm Activity Pushing Into Southeast Wyoming Including Cheyenne Wheatland and Torrington
As the thunderstorm line continues its northeast tracking movement this morning, communities across southeast Wyoming including Cheyenne, Wheatland, Torrington, Chugwater, La Grange, and Albin are all falling within the path of the advancing storm activity.
The storm cells pushing into southeast Wyoming carry the same pea size hail and lightning hazards that have been associated with the activity across North Larimer and Weld County in Colorado, meaning Wyoming residents in the path should take the same precautions as their Colorado neighbors to the south.
Residents across the entire northeast tracking storm corridor from Fort Collins through Cheyenne and into Wheatland and Torrington should remain weather aware this morning until the active thunderstorm line passes through and conditions improve behind the advancing storm track.
