What the National Weather Service wrote

The Great Divide 2N RAWS recorded a wind gust to 60 mph at approximately 5:46 PM MDT on June 12th. This gust was associated with a passing band of showers and thunderstorms. No reports of damages, injuries, or fatalities were recorded.

The wider storm

A much drier airmass was working in across eastern Utah and western Colorado on the afternoon of June 12th. This allowed for drier air to infiltrate surface levels, while enough moisture remained aloft to produce showers and thunderstorms. These two factors combined to create strong and efficient outflow winds that were capable of producing severe gusts in excess of 58 mph.

Began near Great Divide (40.7543, -107.8527).
