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.

Water also covered some of I-15 in the Lindon area.


SALT LAKE CITY — Another round of severe weather impacted parts of Utah on Tuesday.

In Tooele County, a severe thunderstorm was reported in the area of Dugway and Rush Valley, which was in effect until 4:30 p.m.
