19:30Z 56 UT Uintah Leota With just enough moisture to work with, showers and thunderstorms began to form on the higher terrain around the Uinta Basin early in the afternoon of August 7. These storms received some upper level support in the form of a passing shortwave and a modest upper level jet, which allowed them to become strong to severe. In addition, dry surface levels acted to boost already strong to severe winds. Winds recorded during this event ranged from 45 mph to the peak of 64 mph, which was recorded at a Utah State Climate Mesonet Site 9.1 miles east of Randlett. No reports of damage or injuries were received.
20:01Z 54 CO Weld Nunn Weather station UP718 five miles north of Nunn observed the 62 mph wind gust.
20:08Z 53 CO Weld Nunn A CDOT weather station reported a 61 mph wind gust near Nunn and then quit reporting wind speeds when the 61 mph gust hit.
21:33Z 55 CO Weld Masters The CDOT sensor (CO222) located one mile west of Masters reported the 63 mph wind gusts.
22:00Z 78 UT Uintah Rainbow Showers and thunderstorms formed over the higher terrain of northeastern Utah on the afternoon of August 7. As these storms developed, there were enhanced by some upper level support in the form of a passing wave and an upper level jet. This allowed the storms to grow strong enough to potentially produce severe threats, such as wind in excess of 58 mph and hail in excess of 1 inch. Additionally, dry surface layers would enhance already potentially strong outflow winds. All this combined to produce a 90 mph gust at the Winter Ridge RAWS, located in the Utah Tavaputs Plateau. No reports of damage or injuries were received.
