The National Weather Service in Riverton is investigating damage from a possible tornado in the Snowy Range on Monday.
According to a social media post, the NWS says numerous trees in the area of Turpin Reservoir and the Bow River Campground appear to have been downed by a brief tornado or “straight line winds.”
A radar image also shows the possibility of a tornado, according to the post.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for the southeastern Wyoming high country. Areas above 7,500 feet could get 3 to 6 inches of snow Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Wind gusts up to 50 mph could also complicate travel in places including Interstate 80 between Cheyenne and Laramie.
In western Wyoming, the Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for the upper Green River Basin, where temperatures could drop as low as 25 degrees.
Forecasters expect temperatures to return to normal by the weekend.
