A Severe

of Great Salt Lake. At 8pm this is a significant and still developing
thunderstorm.
NOAA has issued a
Severe Thunderstorm Warning for the Tooele Valley. Great Salt Lake Marina
has issued a Hurricane Force Warning for the southern half of Great Salt Lake.
This system could
produce strong gusty winds, lightning, heavy rain, and possibly a cyclone.
The storm has yet
to pass over the Stansbury Mountains and could be diminished as it does so
lessening its effect over the lake.
This event should
expire by 10pm tonight.
This thunderstorm
has formed on the outer edge of a pinwheel monsoonal system over New
Mexico. It could spawn a few more storms over the night.
