OGDEN, Utah – High winds approaching nearly 70 mph in northern Utah led to power outages, damaged homes and delayed the start of schools in Weber County by two hours.
The National Weather Service in Salt Lake City says the high wind warning for northern Salt Lake County, as well as Davis and Weber counties, remained in effect until noon Tuesday.
The agency, as of 9:45 a.m., recorded gusts of 69 mph at Park Lane and U.S. 89 in Farmington; 59 mph in Centerville; 52 mph at Hill Air Force Base; 42 mph at Riverdale Road and I-84; and 58 mph at the Brigham City Airport.
The winds were not as monumental as the winds that blew through Sept. 7-8 last year, which prompted President Donald Trump to sign a major disaster declaration last week, freeing up federal funding to help offset damages.
