A deep low pressure system, around 984 mb, tracked across Nebraska during the afternoon of the 15th.  A strong pressure gradient developed ahead of the low to the north of the warm front, which extended eastward across northern Missouri.  During the late afternoon hours, winds were sustained in the 40 to 45 MPH range with occasional gusts to around 60 MPH were received.  These winds caused some spotty damage, but the damage was quite limited due to the lack of significant leaf growth on the trees.  Spotty damage to awnings and fences did occur however.
