A squall line developed ahead of a strong autumn cold front.  The front was associated with the record setting low pressure system lifting northeast through Minnesota into Canada.  The front passed through southeast Ohio during the mid afternoon. Strong to severe wind gusts occurred near the squall line and in its wake.   Temperatures dropped rapidly from around 80 degrees to near 60 degrees, then eventually into the lower 50s by sunset.
