The slow moving Pacific trough and associated surface cold front finally progressed into the Great Basin late in the night and into the early morning hours. This led to widespread gusts that exceeded 40 mph across the area with numerous stations hitting high wind criteria, or more than 58 mph in the valleys.

The episode as NWS GJT wrote it up.
The slow moving Pacific trough and associated surface cold front finally progressed into the Great Basin late in the night and into the early morning hours. This led to widespread gusts that exceeded 40 mph across the area with numerous stations hitting high wind criteria, or more than 58 mph in the valleys. Virga showers only enhanced these strong surface winds.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Junction CO
1152 AM MST Wed Nov 9 2022
.UPDATE...
Issued at 1148 AM MST Wed Nov 9 2022
Strong winds have subsided in northeast and east-central Utah with
gusts below advisory criteria at Vernal and Moab due to increased
clouds and showers and following cold front passage. Southwest
winds are still continuing to gust in the 40 to 55 mph range
across much of western Colorado, so decided to extend the end time
a bit for those zones till 2-3 pm MST. Also, anticipating the
approaching front and increasing southwest winds, added COZ008
(Glenwood to Eagle-Vail corridor), COZ014 (Gunnison Basin), COZ022
(Animas Basin including Durango) and COZ023 (Archuleta including
Pagosa Springs) to the Wind Advisory in effect through 5 pm MST.
UPDATE Issued at 734 AM MST Wed Nov 9 2022
Winds gusted to 55 mph at VEL at the top of the hour, contrary to
mos guidance. Seems like winds will widespread gusts 40 to 55 mph
ahead of this cold front so went ahead and decided to include the
eastern Uinta Basin (UTZ024) in the Wind Advisory until 18Z/11 am
MST, the same time the other eastern Utah zones drop off. Rest of
wind advisories appear on track.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday)
Issued at 241 AM MST Wed Nov 9 2022
As expected, gusty winds continued overnight, thanks to strong
winds aloft and the approaching low pressure center tightening the
surface pressure gradient. Winds in lower valleys have gusted
between 30 to 40 mph for much of the night and as the system
approaches, the expectation is that winds will increase further.
The current wind advisories, obviously, will remain in effect to
account for these stronger winds. Temperatures have also remained
very warm for the overnight hours thanks to deep mixing of the
lower atmosphere.
As far as precipitation is concerned, no big changes from the
latest model runs. The cold front remains just on our doorstep at
this hour and by daybreak, expect some rain to start falling for
the extreme portions of our CWA...snow for the Uintas. The speed
of the cold front hasn't slowed down either and will remain the
focus of precipitation as it pushes through the area. Winter
weather advisories remain in place for accumulating snowfall
varying from about 4 to 8 inches, give or take. Would anticipate
several of the advisories to be dropped earlier than originally
planned as snow will end quickly after frontal passage, especially
the Uinta Mountains. Later shifts can evaluate and modify
highlights as needed. One major difference from previous runs was
an increase in QPF and snowfall amounts for the San Juans.
Favorable flow looks to create widespread orographic lift and with
strong upward motion thanks to divergence aloft, plenty of lift
will work on available moisture for a quick 4 to 6 inches
there...maybe a bit more. More concerned with the gusty winds that
will accompany the snow so after discussing with PUB, decided the
impacts for the mountains passes (550 and Wolf Creek) warranted
winter weather advisories. The advisories for the San Juans will
only last for 12 hours as things will settle down quickly after
the front has passed.
Tomorrow morning, a few lingering showers will persist along the
Divide from Vail Pass up to the Wyoming border and that looks to
be about it. The closed low will have moved to the northern High
Plains as a weak, dry, secondary trough moves across the region.
Might see an odd flurry over the northern mountains and some
increased cloud cover for the same area but that'll be about it.
Flow around the low will usher in cooler air with highs reaching
about 10 degrees below more seasonal values.
.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 241 AM MST Wed Nov 9 2022
Ridging will build in once the trough mentioned above moves to the
Front Range. Plenty of clear skies and quiet winds will bring some
cold overnight lows as strong radiational cooling causes overnight
lows to drop to the single digits for the northern valleys, mid to
upper teens for the Grand Valley, and lower teens for the southern
valleys. Brisk, to say the least.
Tranquil weather persists through the weekend until late Sunday
night. Both the GFS and EC deterministic runs bring a weak area of
low pressure down to the Four Corners and drops it down into New
Mexico. The GFS is trending this feature a bit further north than
the EC and wants to bring some light precip to the southern half
of the CWA. The EC only brings some very light precip to the San
Juans south. Either solution isn't really impressive so we can
expect an increase in cloud cover with some modest precip
possible. Temperatures through the period look to remain a few
degrees cooler than more normal highs. Nothing too cold though.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 1051 AM MST Wed Nov 9 2022
Gusty winds will continue to impact the terminals today with most
sites seeing gusts of 45-50kts ahead of the approaching frontal
boundary. Ceilings and visibility will drop to MVFR/IFR conditions
as rainshowers in the low valleys and snow showers at mountain
sites deteriorate flying conditions. Frontal passage late this
afternoon will usher in improved flying conditions west to east
and the TAF period will close with most sites back to VFR
conditions. Some snow showers will likely remain anchored to high
terrain of the northern mountains and southward to I-70 corridor
overnight .

Wind gusts up to 45 mph will be common in the valleys. Wind advisories remain in place. As the front moves through, rain or rain/snow will become all snow for the mountains where 4 to 8 inches looks possible for all higher terrain. Winter weather advisories have been issued. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday Ridging builds in Thursday as cooler air moves into the region. Plenty of clear skies, cool days, and cold nights are expected. A weak low will drop down to the Four Corners late Sunday night but precipitation chances look slim. Any rain or snow that falls will be light in nature. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not expected today or tonight, however spotters are encouraged to report excessive wind or any observed wind related damage to the National Weather Service in Grand Junction.
