Storms take last crack at N. Utah for a while
Severe thunderstorms pushed across northern Utah Sunday, bringing claps of thunder, flashes of lightning and torrents of hail that ranged in size from pennies to quarters.
But it wasn't long lived.
Weather advisories issued Sunday afternoon warned residents of Davis, Weber, Morgan, and Carbon counties to prepare for strong winds and storms capable of producing hail. Dispatchers in Carbon County told the Deseret News that at about 3 p.m. Sunday, hail bounced off the ground and pounded buildings and cars.
Dispatchers in Davis received similar warning from the National Weather Service but received no reports of hail or substantial rain.
By 9 p.m. weather across the state had calmed and clear skies were a norm from most areas.
Steve Rogowski, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said the weather in Utah was pleasant for the most part, although there were a few storms reported during the day. Weber County reported quarter-size hail falling in some areas around 5:40 p.m.
Winds gusted across portions of the west desert Sunday afternoon, moving at more than 50 mph in some areas. Rogowski said that stations near Dugway on I-80 clocked winds at 43 mph and as much as 54 mph near Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake.
Beginning Monday, dry air will build across the state and deliver warmer weather. No more storms are likely beyond the afternoon and Rogowski expected 90 degree temperatures to be the norm by Wednesday.
