Strong southwest winds ahead of a cold front gusted to 39 to 43 knots (45 to 49 mph) affected south-central and southeast Wisconsin for about 7 hours.  Scattered tree damage was noted in the form of broken large tree branches.  Scattered, minor, power outages were reported after broken tree branches landed on power-lines.  The strong southwest winds were the result of a large pressure gradient ahead of a cold front moving west to east across Wisconsin.  In Wisconsin, widespread, strong wind events usually occur behind cold fronts, rather than ahead of them.
