The National Weather Service is calling for strong winds throughout most of Utah on Monday.

A cold front will bring strong northwest winds to Utah and southwest Wyoming, causing reduced visibility as blowing dust and snow is possible.

It is a fast-moving storm; it will hit around noon and clear by dinner time, according to John Goulet, with the FOX 13’s weather team.
