More than 500 Utahns were without power in various counties as the storm rolled through in the morning. That number is now under 200 residents still lacking power.

Utah Highway Patrol says they have responded to 75-80 crashes today on the roads. Despite the weather, there appeared to be no serious delays in arrivals or departures at Salt Lake City International Airport.

The storm began in northern Utah Wednesday morning and will spread to southern and central Utah, as well as parts of Wyoming by Thursday.

On Tuesday night, Utah saw wind gusts of more 67 miles per hour in the area of the Great Salt Lake. The highest winds in the state at 85 mph were recorded in Chepeta in the Uinta Mountains, and an 80 mph reading was taken on Interstate 80 near Parowan.

Utah Highway Patrol said the gusty winds caused semi-trucks to tip over on Interstate 80 overnight.

In total, two trucks tipped over within two miles of each other at mileposts 78 and 80. The incidents prompted officials to restrict access to I-80 for high-profile vehicles temporarily.

No injuries were reported and on Wednesday morning, officials worked to clean everything up.
