What happened

The episode as NWS CYS wrote it up.

Moist southerly winds brought 50 to 60 degree dew points into the area. Due to so much moisture present, low status formed and lasted through the early afternoon. The stratus caused the atmosphere to remain stable through the early afternoon until the stratus began to clear out. With the moisture still present during the afternoon and a strong jet stream overhead, thunderstorms began to form over the higher terrain and move eastward. As the afternoon progressed large hail was reported from around the area.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Cheyenne, WY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 7, 12:57 PM MST, 2 hours 7 minutes earlier.
