What the National Weather Service wrote

A peak wind gust of 63 MPH was measured by the automated weather station at the Canyonlands Field Airport outside Moab.

The wider storm

After high pressure dominated eastern Utah for several days, moisture gradually increased ahead of an approaching system. This led to the development of isolated to scattered high-based thunderstorms. Given the dry air at the lower levels, gusty outflow winds were the primary threat from storms. The stronger storms produced gusty winds in excess of 58 mph across Grand County.
