Wyoming storm activity in 2026

From March 1 through November 3, 2026, NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 23 preliminary reports of hail 1 inch or larger within 50 miles of the Wyoming cities we track. The largest stone near a tracked city was 2.50 inches (12 NE North Cheyenne, Laramie Co., WY, August 26, 2026).[3] Reports can overlap between nearby cities and are not a damage survey.

Common roofs and code notes in Wyoming

Asphalt shingles dominate, and hail is the main roof killer here, so many homeowners choose Class 4 impact-resistant shingles or metal. Cold winters mean the residential code calls for an ice barrier at the eaves in areas with a history of ice damming.[4] Permits come from your city or county building department.

Wyoming rules homeowners should know

Check before you sign

The FTC advises hiring only licensed and insured contractors, confirming the license with your state or county, getting more than one written estimate, never signing over your insurance check, and never paying in full up front or by cash, wire, gift card, or crypto. [5]

Contractor licensing in Wyoming: Wyoming has no statewide roofing contractor license. Local licenses or registrations apply where required. Contractor licensing details.
