NOAA record 1208126 ↗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. W

NOAA record 108600 ↗Every entry comes from the NOAA / NCEI Storm Events Database, the federal record of severe weather in the United States. We reproduce it here filtered to Utah and made searchable — we do not edit, add to, or interpret the records. Where NOAA lists a wind speed in knots we show it in miles per hour; everything else is verbatim.
Locations are NOAA's own county and National Weather Service forecast-zone names, which is why you will see both Salt Lake and Wasatch Mountains South of I-80. A storm not listed here was not necessarily absent — it means NOAA has no recorded report for it, which is common for isolated hail.
