I spoke with Weather Service today and they say we will have as high as 75 mph winds in Weber and Davis Counties. They say it looks like Weber and Davis will get the worst. Better batten down the hatches and be ready for power outages. The news channels downplayed this last night, saying it would only be canyon winds but the forecasters at NWS are saying to expect winds from the benches to the lake. 

Thanks. Lance

...DAMAGING WINDS POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...

THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR DANGEROUSLY STRONG EASTERLY DOWNSLOPE

WINDS TO AFFECT THE WASATCH FRONT LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND

THURSDAY...SPECIFICALLY DURING THE THURSDAY MORNING COMMUTE.

DAMAGING EASTERLY WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH ARE

POSSIBLE...AND SIMILAR EVENTS IN YEARS PAST HAVE CAUSED

WIDESPREAD DAMAGE TO PERSONAL PROPERTY AND SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED

BOTH INTERSTATE TRAVEL AND RAILROAD OPERATIONS. TYPICALLY THESE

TYPE OF EVENTS HAVE HAD THE GREATEST IMPACT ON THE NORTHERN

WASATCH FRONT FROM NORTH SALT LAKE TO BRIGHAM CITY...BUT ALL AREAS

ALONG THE WASATCH FRONT FROM SPANISH FORK NORTH HAVE THE POTENTIAL

FOR DAMAGING WINDS.

STRONG GAP WINDS IN WASHINGTON COUNTY THURSDAY ARE AN ADDITIONAL

CONCERN WITH THIS STORM.

THESE WINDS WILL BE CAUSED BY THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM.

THIS WILL WILL SURGE A COLD FRONT THROUGH UTAH WEDNESDAY AND

WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE STORM SYSTEM SETTLES INTO SOUTHERN

NEVADA THURSDAY MORNING. SOME SNOW IS EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHERN

UTAH WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT BUT THE PRIMARY IMPACT OF

THIS STORM SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE THE WINDS ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH. AS

THE STORM SETTLES INTO SOUTHERN NEVADA THURSDAY SNOW WILL BECOME

MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS MAINLY SOUTHERN UTAH...WITH SIGNIFICANT

ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE FOR ALL AREAS OUTSIDE OF UTAHS DIXIE.

THE STORM SYSTEM WILL BE VERY SLOW TO MOVE OUT OF THE DESERT

SOUTHWEST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...BUT BOTH THE DANGEROUS WIND AND

HEAVY SNOW POTENTIAL WILL WANE RAPIDLY AS IT SLOWLY LOSES

STRENGTH.
