UPDATE — A severe thunderstorm has been issued for portions of Utah County that include Provo, Orem and Lindon until 7 p.m.
The storm was producing wind gusts of 60 mph with the potential of ping-pong size hail.
The storm also made travel on Interstate 15 difficult at best, as KSL TV’s Daniel Woodruff discovered.
Some cars are pulled off on the side of I-15 in Orem because the hail is so strong and conditions are so treacherous right now. #utwx @KSL5TV pic.twitter.com/ZDWJmvzJ1X
