Utica, the town this property stands in, in 24 storm reports between 1997 and 2025: 16 hail, 3 wildfire, 2 flood, 1 flash flood.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
A severe thunderstorm dropped 2.75 inch diameter hail at Checkerboard 10NNE. The hail caused damage to automobiles and recreational vehicles at Whitetail Campground (elevation 6500 feet).
A severe thunderstorm dropped 1 inch diameter hail at Utica 17SW. The hail fell for several miles along the south fork of the Judith River between Corral Creek and Hay Canyon. Hail drifts to a depth of 1 foot were reported.
A severe thunderstorm moved across southeastern Judith Basin county and western Fergus county during the evening hours of the 5th. This storm produced a tornado that was relatively short lived and that skipped across rural areas causing little damage. The tornado was seen by several motorists as it crossed U.S. Highway 191.
