Event narrative

The supercell thunderstorm which produced strong damaging outflow winds in Daggett County moved into nearby Uintah County and spawned a funnel cloud which was observed for well over 5 minutes before the rotation made contact with the ground. The tornado remained over open country during its existence. Although the rotation was on the ground for about 9 minutes, it was estimated to have only traveled about one mile during that time. After the rotation lifted off the ground, the funnel cloud persisted for at least another 5 minutes.
