The National Weather Service briefly issued a tornado warning this (Monday) evening for Park County as part of a massive thunderstorm.

Around 6:06 p.m., a tornado was spotted 7 miles northeast of Cody and moving north at 30 mph, the National Weather Service reported. That prompted a tornado warning for northeastern Park County, including Clark and Ralston, until 6:30 p.m.

"Move to safe shelter immediately!" said the warning, cautioning that quarter-size hail was possible and predicting the storm might hit Ralston around 6:25 p.m. However, the storm reportedly weakened and moved out of the area not long after that and both the tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings for Park County were canceled.

A tornado was also reportedly spotted 14 miles southwest of Otto and 21 miles east of Meeteetse at 6:18 p.m. Multiple people in the area posted images of a funnel cloud to the National Weather Service's Facebook page. The Weather Service said the storm could also include hail the size of ping pong balls. A tornado warning remained in effect for parts of Big Horn County ― including Burlington, Otto and Emblem ― until 6:45 p.m.

Other, more dramatic tornado activity was reported in other parts of the state, including near Carpenter.

A severe thunderstorm watch remains in effect until 10 p.m. for Park, Big Horn, Hot Springs, Washakie, Natrona, Sheridan and Johnson counties.
