Storms brought a tornado and 2-mch-thin hail （冰雹 ） to Wyoming on Thursday, a day after thunderstorms hit parts of Wyoming and Colorado with golf ball-sized hail and heavy rain．Three homes were heavily damaged by the tornado on Thursday, and 10 to 12 other buildings also had damage．One person was treated at a hospital for a cut on the head．Some power lines were also down to the ground．The tornado touched down briefly near Wheatland, north of Cheyenne, in a populated area, officials said．

Hail, the size of golf balls, was reported in the Wheatland area, and 2-inch-thin hail was reported in Laramie．Forecasters said thunderstorms that can spawn tornadoes could develop and flooding was possible．Citizens should be careful．

A fire, which is believed to have been started by lightning on Sunday night, has burned about 3,500 acres about 20 miles northwest of Wheatland．About 120 firefighters, aided by helicopters and air tankers, were on the scene．The rain provided some help for firefighters who fully controlled a 227-acre wildfire in northern Colorado, but the weather in the beginning hurt efforts to control a 6,000-acre blaze （火焰） in Wyoming's Medicine Bow National Forest．Storms passed close to the Wyoming fire but mostly brought winds that fanned the flames．Rain and hail fell later but didn't make a big difference, said fire spokeswoman Beth Hermanson．

Kyle Fredin, working for the National Weather Service in Denver, said the beginning of June is the peak time for such severe weather in Colorado．Most of the state has been experiencing moderate-to-extreme drought conditions．
