Event narrative

Hail accumulated up to two inches deep on Highway 191 and minor flooding was reported in the area.

Wider weather episode

The weather pattern of high pressure over the southeast states and an upper trough along the west coast allowed another surge of monsoonal moisture to move into eastern Utah. Cooling temperatures aloft allowed large hail to form in some of the stronger storms, while heavy rain and some flash flooding also occurred.
