Intense low pressure located northeast of Iowa, combined with high pressure building into the area produced a very strong pressure gradient across the state.  The low pressure deepened to below 990 mb as it approached Lake Superior during the afternoon.  Winds gusted to over 50 MPH in most places throughout the day on the 9th.  A few locations reported winds gusting in excess of 60 MPH.  Several reporting sites in the CWA had sustained winds of 40 MPH or more for a period of a few hours during the day as the low intensified.  Scattered damage was reported around the state along with spotty power outages.  For the most part, damage was limited to trees and some roof damage to out buildings.  Though not major, the damage was quite widespread.
