What the National Weather Service wrote

At 540pm MST, Idaho Power mesonet station W3T7 measured a 58 mph wind gust.

The wider storm

On May 25th, height falls ahead of an incoming trough and surface heating allowed for weak instability to build in across southwest Idaho. Strong south-southwesterly winds ahead of an incoming cold front allowed for a hot, well-mixed boundary layer and subsequent inverted-V temperature profiles. Shear was weak but sufficient to support a multicell with a damaging wind threat. Severe winds resulting in numerous trees down across the area.

Began near Floating Feather Arp (44.7200, -116.1100).
