Doppler radar at 3:35 p.m. MDT tracked a strong thunderstorm over Utah State University near Logan, with the cell expected to affect east-central Cache and western Rich counties through 4 p.m.
Penny-size hail was the main hazard, with wind gusts below 40 mph and minor damage to outdoor objects possible.
