A powerful storm system ejecting east into the Plains from the Rocky Mountains developed a deep surface low over the Central High Plains. This low pressure and its associated tight pressure gradient resulted in very strong surface winds from generally along and west of Interstate 135. Parts of Central Kansas saw the highest winds with the Russell Airport sustaining wind gusts as high as 59 mph. Winds were generally in the 50 to 55 mph range for the counties affected but these winds resulted numerous reports of tree damage, power outages and small out buildings blowing down.
