...NWS Tornado Survey for June 17, 2025 Tornado Event...

Scattered thunderstorms developed over the mountains of southern
Wyoming during the late morning of June 17, 2025 and became more
widespread while moving eastward into the southern Nebraska panhandle
during the afternoon hours. Widespread strong winds and isolated
large hail were reported with this system along with two tornadoes.
Meanwhile, isolated thunderstorms across east central Wyoming and
the northern Nebraska panhandle produced large hail and landspout
tornadoes during the afternoon and early evening hours. The strongest
tornado of the event occurred east of Laramie, while damage was also
reported west of Kimball. All other tornadoes reported no damage
and were rather brief.
