Impacts
Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects. Minor damage to outdoor objects is possible. Locations impacted include... Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Tooele, Grantsville, Stansbury Park, Tooele Army Depot, Magna, Bingham Canyon Mine, Great Salt Lake South of the Causeway, Stockton, Rush Valley, Erda, Copperton, Lake Point, and Antelope Island State Park. This storm will be capable of producing strong gusty winds on the Great Salt Lake. This will lead to a sudden increase in waves and very choppy waters which will result in hazardous boating conditions. Boaters are urged to seek safe harbor if possible. This includes Interstate 80 in Utah between mile markers 85 and 112.
