Slip Renters and GSL Marina Users
This is an update to inform you we still have a
STORM WARNING issued for the Great Salt Lake Marina Area.
We are experienceing occasional thunderheads with
strong downdrafts. Some of these thunderheads have produced seviere
weather on the Great Salt Lake.
So far we have only seen 40 knot gusts in the
marina with some of these storms. NO DAMAGE HAS BEEN OBSERVED IN THE
MARINA.
This monsoonal weather will continue tonight and
into tomorrow. This brings the potential of strong thunderstorms,
lightning, heavy rain, hail, and strong downdrafts.
The current forecast is for isolated storms
tomorrow morning with a greater potential as the day progresses. NOAA is
only forecasting a 30% chance of showers tomorrow. But be advised that
strong downdrafts could effect the marina area without the showers.
If you are sailing tomorrow, keep a watch over the
Oquirrh Mountains, Tooele Valley Area, and Stansbury Island and Mountain
range for building thunderheads. Listen to NOAA weather for warnings of
seviere thunderstorms.
Thank you
