Chances for thunderstorms will return for today and tomorrow across the area. Scattered showers and storms will develop this afternoon and continue until late in the evening.

Model Trains Astound & Inspire At Cheyenne Depot
Recently, the depot at Cheyenne, Wyoming, held Depot Days to celebrate the history of one of America's most important railroad stops.
Special thanks to the Slick Rail.
With its many detailed and weathered structures trackside, the Slick X Line O-scale layout is fun for both young and old.
The 40-foot-long modular traveling display was built by five members over a 2-year period, using their 1st letter of each of their names to form the name.
