Sounds like a classic "sucker hole"
The IR Sat map is showing the trailing edge of the
current front over Nevada and a clear pocket between the west stateline of Nevada and major storm in the Pacific off the California coast.

The six hour water vapour weather loop shows an ambiguous storm course for the rest of the evening.

The South Mtn Tooele County web cam shows socked in weather - similar to the current overcast in SLC.

But, the Wendover Nevada web cam shows hazy sunshine.

In conclusion, some potential for a late evening clearing of the cloud deck that might allow some visibility of the tail end of the eclipse.
