A series of landspout tornadoes were observed in Wyoming and Colorado on June 20, 2024. One tornado was spotted south of Yoder, Wyoming, while another touched down near Hawk Springs, Wyoming. The National Weather Service confirmed at least one tornado near Yoder and issued a severe thunderstorm watch for eastern Wyoming. In Colorado, a brief landspout tornado was reported in west Greeley and near Gilcrest. Additionally, severe storms with large hail and high winds affected the region, including Nebraska, where a hailstorm left a surreal scene in Scottsbluff. Winds gusted up to 100 mph and hail reached the size of baseballs in some areas.
