Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.
What the National Weather Service wrote
The SR-30 @ Curlew mesonet station recorded an initial wind gust of 60 mph, soon followed by an additional wind gust of 60 mph, as a result of outflow winds associated with a nearby cluster of showers and thunderstorms moving through the area.
The wider storm
A grazing shortwave trough north of Utah sent a cold front into the region. Ahead of and along this boundary there was enough moisture to result in isolated to scattered convective development, with much of this activity higher based in nature. As a result, numerous strong to severe wind gusts were recorded or reported. Additionally, a period of strong winds downsloping off of terrain was noted in portions of northwest Utah following the passage of the frontal boundary.
Began near Curlew Jct (41.9400, -113.0900).
