A squall line formed in advance of an approaching cold front. Most of the moisture ahead of the cold front was in the middle and high levels. Therefore, the thunderstorms that developed, produced microburst winds. In the Tremonton area, these winds blew a few small fences and trees down, and a few shingles off houses. However, one larger 100-year-old pine tree was blown over onto a house, but it caused no major damage. The large hail that fell was brief and soft, and caused no damage.

What these are

Hail: Hail three-quarters of an inch or larger, or smaller hail that caused damage, filed with the largest stone measured.
Thunderstorm Wind: Winds from a thunderstorm of 50 knots (58 mph) or more, or lower winds that caused damage or casualties. Measured gusts are marked MG, estimated EG.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
