The National Weather Service in Salt Lake City has issued a High

  Sevier Valleys, east to include the Wasatch Mountains and
  Wasatch Back, Central Utah Mountains, Southwest Wyoming, Western
  Uinta Mountains and Basin, Book Cliffs and the San Rafael Swell.

* WINDS...Scattered thunderstorms will bring 60 to 70 mph wind

of 58 mph or more can lead to property damage. Vehicles,
especially high profile vehicles, can be difficult to control at
times in high winds. Motorists should take extra caution,
especially while crossing bridges, overpasses, and unsheltered
areas.

Boaters on area lakes can expect gusty winds, very choppy water,
large waves, dangerous lightning, and poor visibility in heavy
rain. Boaters should seek safe harbor immediately.
